Wabash City Plan Commission approves sale of 0.19-acre parcel at 1048 North C Street to Lost Socks Laundry
Summary
At its July meeting the Wabash City Plan Commission approved RB's Laundry LLC’s request to split and sell a 0.19-acre parcel (a leased pole barn) at 1048 North C Street to the tenants operating as Lost Socks Laundry; commissioners required a recorded survey, deeded legal description and a permanent easement to preserve access.
The Wabash City Plan Commission approved a petition from RB's Laundry LLC, doing business as Lost Socks Laundry, to exclude a 0.19-acre parcel at 1048 North C Street from subdivision rules and allow the tenants to purchase the portion containing a pole barn.
The petitioner, Jared, told the commission the plan is to leave Jeremy with the north end of the building while Jared acquires the south end and ‘‘put an office and storage unit down to the south end. Basically going to split it 40 40.’’ He described the parcel as small and said the tenants want to purchase the piece that currently houses the pole barn.
Commissioner Doug and staff raised the primary land-use concern: whether the lot would become landlocked. Doug noted the petitioner had prepared a legally described easement, and staff said that easements prepared and recorded with the sale would ‘‘run with the land,’’ preserving access for the rear property. The commission also confirmed that utilities for the back parcel—electric and water—are separate.
Before voting, staff reminded the petitioner that the commission is a nine-member board and that certain approvals require a majority of the entire board; because some members were absent, the petitioner was offered the option to continue the item to the next meeting without re-noticing. The petitioner elected to proceed that evening.
A motion and second were made to accept the petition; members voiced assent during roll call and the chair declared the motion passed. The transcript does not record the names of the motion’s mover and seconder or a numerical roll-call tally.
Staff advised the next procedural steps after approval: ‘‘The survey needs to be recorded and then the deed needs to have all of the legal description and the easement.’’ The commission adjourned with no further business.
What happens next: the petitioner must record the survey and deliver a deed with the full legal description and the permanent easement before the sale is finalized, per staff guidance at the meeting.
