Board hears lot‑split request for Queen property; no vote recorded as parties explore options
Summary
David Queen sought a lot split with reduced frontage (updated to 50 ft) to allow his grandson to build; the County Engineer did not recommend approval and the board discussed options including combining parcels or shared driveways — no formal vote on the request was recorded and staff will follow up with the applicant.
The Board heard a request from David Queen for a lot split on a 21‑acre parcel in Pleasant Township; the applicant amended the request during the hearing to increase proposed frontage from 30 to 50 feet after township input about emergency access. Staff noted the County Engineer again did not recommend approval, citing narrow rural roads and sight‑line issues when crops are mature.
Mr. Queen said his grandson wants to build on the secluded portion of the parcel; board members and staff discussed combining adjacent frontage, creating a larger lot to satisfy frontage requirements, or pursuing a shared driveway agreement. Public comment echoed the Engineer's likely opposition to additional driveways. The transcript records discussion and suggestions but no formal motion or vote on the request; Chair Hazlett asked staff to reach out to Mr. Queen about tabling the case for further coordination with the Engineer and trustees.
