The Planning Commission held two public hearings covering an administrative review for a three-unit multifamily proposal and annexations during its April 16 meeting.
Property owners of 1008 Hiatt St, on the southwest corner of Oak and Hiatt streets, requested approval for a three-unit multi-family development within the existing structures, and a variance for lot size, setback and vehicle maneuvering.
Essentially, the subject property already has a single family home with an unattached accessory building consisting of two single garages. Above one garage is an occupied dwelling, and above the other garage is space that is currently being used as storage. The request is to convert the storage space into a studio apartment.
Motions for approval passed unanimously.
The second public hearing included a request from the City of Lebanon to annex six different street segments. In her report on the matter, Community Development Director Kelly Hart explained that as annexations occurred throughout the city over time, some applications included annexation of the public right-of-way along the length of the property segment, while
others did not, resulting in a patchwork of city and county jurisdiction throughout the street network.
The street segments for annexation are on Crowfoot Road, Kees Street, Wassom Street, and three on Stoltz Hill Road.
“I want to be very clear that these are only right-of-way segments,” Hart said. “This is not anybody’s private property.”
The commission passed the annexations unanimously.
