Applicant says rezoning will enable estate‑sized 2.5‑acre lots, not dense development
Summary
The Landmark LLC representative told the commission she wants to split the 14.57‑acre Kitten Trail parcel to create estate‑sized lots (2.5 acres), allow ADUs and preserve rural character while preserving sales flexibility; staff warned connections to utilities and permit hurdles remain.
Applicant representative Lisa Dimyanovich told the commission she is seeking rezoning primarily to allow a split that would enable 2.5‑acre estate lots and preserve the rural character of the surrounding area.
"I'm not trying to go in there and do anything, you know, on a grand scale...I'm just trying to maximize the potential for the property," Lisa said, describing a preference for estate‑sized lots and flexibility for future sale. She said she had advertised the property for sale and, if it does not sell as a whole, she planned a split that would create one smaller lot and leave a larger remainder.
Staff and commissioners advised that if the owner creates three or more parcels, the property will be required to connect to public utilities and meet subdivision standards; Lisa acknowledged the water line is about a mile away and that bringing utilities would be a future expense for an owner or developer.
The applicant said she would consider deed restrictions but did not want to categorically bar manufactured homes, citing affordability concerns. Staff noted county ADU rules prohibit ADUs as mobile homes and that ER‑2 zoning alternatives could be evaluated if the commission desired a different regulatory approach.
