Planning Commission schedules hearing on Park Entrance Adjacent Lots ordinance after concerns about park‑strip use
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a draft ordinance addressing a narrow park‑entrance strip after concerns that some owners treat that strip as private property; Village Manager Wolff proposed deed language clarifying LIPOA control and a public hearing was scheduled for the next regular meeting.
The Planning Commission reviewed a draft Park Entrance Adjacent Lots Ordinance on Feb. 10 and scheduled a public hearing for the next regular meeting to take testimony and consider potential adoption. Commissioner Grey raised concerns that people are using the park entrance strip “as if it were their own property,” prompting discussion about how the strip should be managed.
Commissioner Benzinger said the management between the lot owner and the Lake Isabella Property Owners Association (LIPOA) is the primary relationship to consider. Village Manager Wolff suggested adding a clause to the deed‑combination language requiring the lot owner to acknowledge they do not own the strip and that LIPOA retains full control. The commission did not adopt ordinance text at the meeting; instead it scheduled a public hearing to collect comment and consider revisions.
Next steps: the public hearing will allow residents to testify and provide evidence about use and ownership of the park‑entrance strip; staff and commissioners will use that input to refine ordinance language before any formal action.
