Zoning commission approves Barnes parcel split to create new home site; agricultural use to continue
Summary
The board unanimously approved Case 1641 to divide approximately 42.403 acres into two tracts so an abutting neighbor can purchase the south half for a new single‑family home while the north tract remains in agricultural use.
Case 1641, filed for Dustin L. and Carol E. Barnes, received unanimous approval from the Preble County Rural Zoning Commission. Agent Stephen Pope presented a plan to divide approximately 42.403 acres along Enterprise Road into a north tract of about 21.9 acres (containing the existing home and outbuildings) and a south tract of about 21.374 acres intended for sale and a proposed new single‑family home.
Dustin Barnes spoke in support, confirming ongoing agricultural use: “I currently farm all of Joe’s ground around me, and there’s gonna be no new fences built... everything’ll stay in cow pasture.” The board approved the application 4–0; the case will be forwarded to the County Commissioners for the scheduled April 1 hearing.
