Board allows building permit on 90-acre parcel despite prior splits
Summary
The board approved a building permit allowing construction on a 90-acre parcel that has been split from its parent more than the county’s usual four building-site limit, finding the application acceptable under the facts presented and with standard permitting steps to follow.
Owners Samuel and Melinda Eicher sought permission to build on a 90-acre parcel that had been split multiple times from its parent tract. The owner explained the parcel had been split previously and that he purchased it this year; he sought to construct a residence, a barn and a garage. The chair summarized the situation as "a property that has been previously split... the person who owns property wishes to build a residence there," and asked staff to confirm whether a building permit could be issued in this case.
Staff and the board reviewed county rules limiting building sites tied to parent parcels. After confirming the parcel's history and that a building already existed on one of the splits, a board member moved to approve the building permit despite the parcel's history of splits. The motion carried by voice vote; board members instructed the applicant to coordinate with staff on next steps, including obtaining the building permit and confirming septic and other inspection requirements.
