Commission approves Holmes Lane subdivision despite staff disapproval
Summary
A proposal to subdivide a 2-acre parcel and create a shared private drive off unimproved Holmes Lane passed after a motion to approve, though planning staff recommended disapproval because the lot would rely on an unimproved roadway and because of road length concerns.
Staff recommended disapproval of a design modification that would create an additional lot served from Holmes Lane, citing the use of an unimproved roadway and the length of the existing unimproved road: "Staff recommends disapproval on this 1 as the planning action will be creating an additional lot utilizing an unimproved road, Holmes Lane and due to the length of the existing unimproved road."
The chair noted a commissioner in the district supported the proposal and the commission moved to approve the subdivision despite staff concerns. The chair later summarized the vote as "So 2 against everybody else is in favor," indicating recorded opposition but an otherwise prevailing approval.
