Owner representative says subdivision of 503 Knox Square Drive would enable sale of southern parcel
Summary
A proposal before the Galesburg Planning and Zoning Commission would split 503 Knox Square Drive into three lots so a local investor can buy the southern parcel; staff said the development review committee recommended approval and an updated plat was submitted after packets were distributed. The transcript shows no formal recorded vote on the commission action for this item.
The City of Galesburg Planning and Zoning Commission heard a presentation on a proposed subdivision at 503 Knox Square Drive that would split an existing parcel with two multi-tenant commercial buildings into three lots, a staff member said.
City staff described Lot 1 as the northern parcel containing one of the existing buildings (about 5.6 acres), Lot 2 as an undeveloped roughly 0.8-acre area within the parking field, and Lot 3 as the southernmost portion (about 1.66 acres) containing the other multi-tenant commercial building. Staff said the property is zoned B-2 and is surrounded by B-2 zoning except to the north, and noted the development review committee reviewed this minor plat on Oct. 22 and recommended approval. Staff also said an updated plat that shows sanitary, storm and water mains and hydrants was submitted after meeting packets were distributed.
Tony McAndrew, speaking "on behalf of the ownership," said the split is being proposed because "a local investor who's interested in purchasing Lot 3. In order to accomplish that sale, we wanna subdivide the property to, make it very clear, and to be able to transfer ownership to a new owner." He added the current owner intends to retain the other two parcels and to draft an agreement governing shared management and cost division. McAndrew said there is nothing currently planned for Lot 2.
The presentation provided acreages, approximate lot boundaries and utility-location updates; the staff presentation and the developer representative did not include a recorded commission motion or vote on the subdivision in the available transcript. The commission took no further substantive action on the record in the provided segments and then moved toward adjournment.
Next steps were not spelled out in the transcript. The item was introduced to the commission and documented details about lot sizes, zoning (B-2) and the developer's intent to create a management agreement; any formal action, additional conditions, or scheduled public hearing beyond this presentation are not specified in the recorded segments.
