Planning & Zoning Commission approves two-lot subdivision, special exception at 26 Sand Hill Road
Summary
The Middletown Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved a subdivision and special exception to split 26 Sand Hill Road into two lots, allowing the property owners to create a smaller lot for an in-family dwelling while restricting Lot 2 to single-family residential use.
The Middletown Planning & Zoning Commission on Oct. 8 approved a subdivision and a special exception allowing Michael and Carol Catrini to split 26 Sand Hill Road into two lots.
Pat Benjamin, a civil engineer speaking for the applicants, described Lot 1 as about 0.64 acres and Lot 2 as roughly 0.14 acres (about 6,000 square feet) and said the property is served by city water and sanitary sewer and meets setback and building-coverage rules for the RPZ zone. "We did revise the plans for the water and sewer department," Benjamin said, adding that secondary reviews returned with minor conditions.
Commission staff told the commission on the record that Lot 2 will be restricted to single-family residential use. Mark Kazakowski, the city's director of land use, said there are public-works and water/sewer comments that the applicant can address before recording. "The lot number 2… will be restricted for a single family residential use only," he stated.
Homeowner Mike Katrina told the commission the split is intended to keep family nearby: "We would like to keep our family close," he said, and confirmed neighborhood coordination with adjacent property owners.
After the public hearing was closed, commissioners voted first to approve the subdivision and then to approve the special exception. Both motions were seconded and passed unanimously.
Next steps: applicants must satisfy the water, sewer and public-works conditions noted in staff review before the subdivision map is recorded.
