Planning commission approves two‑lot subdivision for Barnard property
Summary
The Orderville Planning & Zoning Commission approved a minor subdivision splitting a 5‑acre parcel into a 1.7‑acre lot and a 3.3‑acre lot for a future home, after staff said the proposed lots meet the rezoned one‑acre minimum and frontage and setback requirements.
The commission voted to approve a minor subdivision requested by Forrest and Susanna Barnard on Oct. 30, splitting an existing 5‑acre parcel into a 1.7‑acre lot containing the current home and a 3.3‑acre building lot.
Planning staff said the subdivision follows a recent rezoning to a one‑acre minimum and that the proposed lot lines reflect topography and frontage requirements. Commissioners asked for clarification on setbacks and frontage; staff confirmed the smallest resulting lot sizes exceeded minimum standards. After discussion the commission moved to approve the minor subdivision; the motion passed without recorded opposition.
The applicant indicated the intent to build a new home on the larger (3.3‑acre) parcel and retain or sell the existing house on the smaller lot. The commission’s approval was conditioned on meeting standard setback and building‑permit requirements when the owner applies for future construction.
