Commission waives fire-chief signature requirement for Martin's Addition minor subdivision
Summary
Shelby County Planning Commission approved a waiver of the local fire-district chief signature for a minor subdivision (Martin's Addition to Highway 72) because the property lacks primary fire coverage. The minor subdivision combines three lots into one 5.41-acre residential parcel; the commission found the plat met county subdivision regulations.
The Shelby County Planning Commission on July 20 approved a waiver of the fire chief signature requirement on the final plat for "Martin's Addition to Highway 72," allowing the record map to proceed despite the parcels being located in an area without primary fire coverage. Commissioner Michael O'Kelley moved for approval, Commissioner Lannette Thomas seconded, and the motion passed unanimously (6-0).
Senior Planner Kristine Goddard presented the request, saying the minor subdivision would combine three lots into a single 5.41-acre parcel for residential use. Thomas S. Dreher, the surveyor representing the applicant, told commissioners "the property owners are wanting to build a new home on the property and getting the fire signature waiver is a part of the process." The resolution cites Article 3, 3.02, B, 4(d) of the Subdivision Regulations of Shelby County as the local provision that allows the commission to waive the fire-district chief signature when appropriate.
