Resident asks Kingsbury commission how to split two-acre lot inside city limits
Summary
Resident Cliff Corning Day told the commission he wants to split his two-acre parcel and asked whether city or county planning rules and septic requirements apply. Commissioners said Kingsbury currently has no subdivision permit requirement and advised using a survey and deed recorded with the county while checking septic setbacks and county rules.
Cliff Corning Day addressed the commission during public comment to ask how to legally subdivide his two-acre property inside Kingsbury city limits. "My name is Cliff Corning Day. I live down the road ... I'm here tonight because I, have intentions to split my 2 square acres," he said, and reported he provided a current survey to city staff and had been speaking with county staff about septic and well requirements.
Commissioners and attendees advised Cliff that the city currently does not have a subdivision/planning-permit regime for properties inside the city limits and that county constraints related to septic systems and minimum lot sizes often still apply. One commissioner recommended filing a survey and attaching it to a general warranty deed to record the split at the county clerk's office, while others stressed that septic setbacks and well-distance rules (for example, well separation from septic tank/field) must be confirmed with the county sanitary engineer.
Another commenter, Katie Sysdick, told the commission that in her experience a survey with meets-and-bounds and a deed prepared by an attorney can take many months to process at the county level. Commissioners agreed to follow up with county staff and keep Cliff informed as Kingsbury clarifies how subdivision, septic, and recording steps should be handled for properties inside city limits.
