Planning commission approves rezoning for Martinie property to allow one additional home
Summary
On May 21, 2026 the Pottawatomie County Planning Commission voted 9–0 to rezone a property owned by Brian Martinie from A1 to AR to allow one additional home, with the applicant saying the new lot would be about 3–5 acres along Blackjack Road.
The Pottawatomie County Planning Commission on May 21 approved a rezoning request that will allow one additional home on a property owned by Brian Martinie. County Planner Bridget Snow presented the staff report, describing the tract, neighborhood character, adjacent zoning, floodplain constraints and conformance with the comprehensive plan.
Applicant Brian Martinie said he envisions the new lot to be about "3 to 5 acres," to be created along Blackjack Road adjacent to an existing house and wooded area bisected by a creek and floodplain. Commissioners heard no public comment during the item. Tatum Couture moved to approve the rezoning from A1 to AR; Doug Kern seconded, and the motion carried 9–0.
The commission reviewed the extent to which the change would affect nearby properties and weighed the public benefit against hardship to the landowner, as described in Snow’s presentation. No conditions or special restrictions were recorded in the meeting minutes beyond standard staff review. The approval will next be reflected in county records and any follow-up administrative steps required by county procedures.
