Mantorville council approves lot split and conditional use permit for 914 & 916 West Street
Summary
The council adopted Resolution No. 2023-29 to allow a lot split and a conditional use permit permitting two attached zero-lot-line dwellings at 914 & 916 West Street after a brief public hearing in which the applicant and a neighbor described comparable nearby approvals.
The Mantorville City Council on Nov. 27 approved Resolution No. 2023-29, authorizing a lot split and a conditional use permit to allow two attached (zero lot line) dwellings at 914 and 916 West Street. The motion was made by Councilmember Jessica Bradford, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey Ingalls, and passed 4-0.
During the public hearing, applicant Robin Maxson explained that the existing building can be divided into two units and that each dwelling already has separate utilities. Neighbor Gene Lushinsky told the council that nearby properties had previously received similar zero-lot-line approvals, arguing the proposal is consistent with local precedent.
The council opened the hearing at 6:33 p.m. and closed it at 6:40 p.m. Before voting, no members of the public opposed the applications in the hearing record. The conditional use permit was considered pursuant to Mantorville City Code section 150.070(D)(8). Approval of Resolution No. 2023-29 formalizes the lot split and the permit; the resolution and permit terms will be reflected in the city’s land records and conditions attached to the permit, if any.
The council did not specify further conditions in the meeting minutes. Next procedural steps typically include recording the plat or deed documents and any required municipal inspections or utility adjustments prior to final occupancy or separate sales.
