Greenbush panels approve two five-acre residential parcel rezonings
Summary
The Planning Commission and Town Board approved two parcel divisions and rezonings to A5 for homeowners seeking single-family lots: a 5-acre parcel for David and Barbara Ohman (including a driveway permit) and a roughly 5.51-acre parcel for Karen Schreiner. Both bodies approved the applications by motion.
The Town of Greenbush Planning Commission approved an application from David and Barbara Ohman to divide Parcel No. 59002005920 (W7263 County Road Z) to create a 5-acre lot and rezone that new lot from A1 to A5 so their son may build a home; the application also included a driveway permit for access from Hillcrest Road. Planning commissioners said they had walked the site and completed a soil survey before voting.
The commission also approved Karen Schreiner’s request to subdivide Parcel No. 59002006890 (83.15 acres) to create a roughly 5.51-acre residential parcel along Division Road and rezone the new parcel to A5. Both parcel-division motions carried at the Planning Commission meeting.
At the Town Board meeting later the same evening, the board approved both parcel divisions and rezonings. The board’s roll-call approvals were unanimous among members present. The Town Board also recorded a motion to appoint David Ohman to the Town Planning Commission.
Why it matters: both approvals permit creation of new single-family residential lots carved from larger agricultural properties and change zoning on the newly created parcels to A5, which allows residential use distinct from the larger A1 agricultural zoning that remains on the parent parcels. The approvals also clear the way for the Ohman driveway permit to be considered as part of the building placement process.
Details and procedure: the Ohman application referenced Parcel No. 59002005920 and the requested driveway access from Hillcrest Road; the Schreiner application referenced Parcel No. 59002006890. The Planning Commission moved the Conditional Use Permit request from a separate applicant (Chris Petrie) to a May public hearing for further review. Both parcel decisions at the board and commission were recorded as motions that carried; the Planning Commission recorded "motion carried" and the Town Board recorded unanimous roll-call votes. No public opposition is recorded in the minutes.
