Mount Pleasant board approves variance to allow subdivision at 701 Choctaw with reduced lot-size
Summary
At its July 14 meeting the Board of Adjustments approved a variance to reduce the minimum lot area from 7,000 to 6,500 square feet for 701 Choctaw so the existing parcel with two residences can be subdivided; city staff said required driveways have been completed.
The Mount Pleasant Board of Adjustments on July 14 approved a variance to reduce the minimum lot area from 7,000 square feet to 6,500 square feet for a property addressed as 701 Choctaw, allowing the existing lot containing two residences to be subdivided.
Staff presenting the request said a recent survey measured the lot at 6,614 square feet and that the city is bringing the variance forward because the parcel is short of the 7,000‑square‑foot requirement. "As you can see on the survey right here, it's only gonna be 6,614 square feet," the presenter said, adding that both driveways required by prior stipulations had been installed.
The chair moved and the board recorded affirmative votes; the sequence in the transcript included multiple calls for the question and several recorded "Aye" responses before the chair confirmed approval. The board discussed no public comments during the open hearing on the item.
The approval resolves a code compliance issue identified during a survey and clears the way for the applicant — the city presented the request — to pursue subdivision of the lot under the adjusted minimum lot area. No additional conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The Board of Adjustments adjourned after concluding business.
