Commission approves variance to allow fourth home off private easement
Summary
The Plan Commission approved a variance allowing an additional (fourth) home to use an existing private easement at Christy's Path, overriding the subdivision ordinance's typical three‑home limit off a single easement; staff recommended approval and addressed neighbors' driveway and housing‑type questions.
Planning staff presented a variance for parcel 044189 to permit a fourth dwelling to access a private easement that currently serves three homes at 10, 29 and 66 Christy's Path. Staff cited subsection 66‑4 of the subdivision ordinance, which generally limits three homes per easement, and recommended approval to allow the additional home.
Neighbor Carolyn Pace (29 Christy's Path) asked whether the additional dwelling would be a single‑family home or a manufactured home and whether the driveway would be adequate. Staff explained easements and driveways are private matters among property owners and that building type would be governed by the Residential Single zoning and permit requirements.
The commission moved to approve the variance; the motion was seconded and carried.
"Three homes off of that easement would be the most he could place right now," staff said in describing the existing restriction, and staff clarified the variance would allow the additional unit if the commission approved the request.
