City planning staff told commissioners that the city and Prime Development have been negotiating the project for some time and that the purchase agreement and public hearings on the street vacation are already underway. Staff said Parcel GG will combine the vacated portion of Sixteenth Avenue Southwest with a city-owned area north of the municipal pond so Prime Development can shift proposed development west to remain out of the wetland area.

Staff also reported an irrigation line running north–south from the pond to the golf course lies within the area; Prime Development will move that line at its expense and grant an easement to the city for relocated infrastructure. The staff memo provided to the commission did not include the purchase agreement in the meeting packet, the planner said.

Commissioners queried whether the parcel boundaries would ultimately include land up to the wetland edge; staff replied a future platting will combine the pieces as one parcel and that an overlay showing the defined wetland boundary will be provided when available. The planner also said the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have advised the developer that wetland areas cannot be disturbed, so the developer is proposing to shift building areas westward onto the parcel under review.

Commissioners discussed access and vehicle turnarounds where the vacated portion of Sixteenth Avenue Southwest will become a private drive; staff noted existing hammerhead features and that the drive appears paved in aerial imagery. The commission voted by voice to recommend approval; the chair declared the motion passed with no opposition.

The matter now moves to City Council for final action. Staff identified follow-up items for future submittals, including a site overlay showing the wetland delineation and documentation of the irrigation-line relocation and easement.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning and Zoning Commission - Jul 03 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Waverly Planning and Zoning Commission recommended on July 3 that the City Council accept a plat of survey for Parcel GG in the Waverly Industrial Plaza, where Prime Development will shift building areas to avoid wetlands and relocate an irrigation line at its expense.","taxTitle","City of Waverly, Eaton County, Michigan","taxId",53093,"location","Michigan","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6511723,"Commissioners told most of LSI campus is for sale; city to consider planning implications",87,1081000,1168000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5188492-6202c4d2768a00380e4ef742eb2cd0b5&start=1081&end=1168","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5188492-6202c4d2768a00380e4ef742eb2cd0b5/thumbnail_1081000.jpg","/articles/6511723/Michigan/Commissioners-told-most-of-LSI-campus-is-for-sale-city-to-consider-planning-implications","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6511723-721264a9c9adebdbfbdf7f5e8099d46a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770933367&Signature=ggPJAz2AAUryoGHxsHXdYiBLRDuD~NUVhVS8fmrsfK3D1BMM1Pfj0UbjeLDEeWzKddjltjjiux8t~Rt~R76qC2SkUrjNqYz9otfI7Xp5ziN2IhyS9~Y6MUp65kK0GYY46wB5kC0atRsR9op-DNQKd6OuB67Y~l1oM98BHG3ge0KLxdoN~F~c5FmwgARzY4gqGAitgYT8ZsKyUpV5DHod1Ja~70QJLTNn-CJk1Y-XPfniuiwQRXoEwRJYTP9gfwyVDeX9OVuxD~pvit0zBv4GB3bihmlMuU9ICP8MtuNIsIuyzWJBZFAonCHClaVm7GMvkOqidImmsnkJGUUXZwYeqw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Planning and Zoning commissioner reported on July 3 that Lutheran Services in Iowa (LSI) has listed most of its Waverly campus for sale, dividing the property into up to six parcels and marketing it with Vine Valley Real Estate.

Commissioner John Meyer said he was told by Mike Knipp of LSI that the organization plans to market the campus in parcels and that the first parcel to be offered is about 15 acres on the north side between the middle school and the existing campus. Meyer said LSI indicated it intends to retain a presence on part of the property while selling other parcels; staff confirmed the campus has been divided into multiple parcels for marketing and that the property’s comprehensive-plan designation is currently institutional.

Commissioners noted that some portions of the campus near the middle school may be developable and observed that portions of the site include detention basins rather than wetlands. Staff said any redevelopment or change of use would require review against the comprehensive plan and appropriate public hearings. Commissioners asked for advance notice and public engagement if developers bring proposals, because the city’s comprehensive plan does not specifically address conversion of institutional campus land to other uses.

No formal action was taken; commissioners requested staff track future submissions and prepare to review site plans and any proposed rezoning or platting.","A Planning and Zoning commissioner said on July 3 that Lutheran Services in Iowa has listed much of its Waverly campus for sale in up to six parcels, with an initial 15-acre parcel identified between the middle school and the campus.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6511728,"Planning commission warns code changes coming as state requires allowance of accessory dwelling units",243,757000,1000000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5188492-6202c4d2768a00380e4ef742eb2cd0b5&start=757&end=1000","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5188492-6202c4d2768a00380e4ef742eb2cd0b5/thumbnail_757000.jpg","/articles/6511728/Michigan/Planning-commission-warns-code-changes-coming-as-state-requires-allowance-of-accessory-dwelling-units","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6511728-147b671c836b5a47ff6d44850019ac37/orig.mp4?Expires=1770933367&Signature=bJ2vPhPN-hmFINb-64L9Y8ZwNwvsJ8E9sTdfmPeH5OGKOxFJsgy0TtUjE~NHysV964HkretVN6aCyN-hF~1EM8W~ooGtplibnYFH7z2nTZ2dbteecx6jGaUer6c01a4-l-gSXAYr~xIAcsdegRYnsVbzwlZR0r8WSLuYsyxl0GR6NvlnH9sGhCKPjZLDxUmKDpwk6B0hR7uHOkSdme0NyONX6DJTKfbioNlBSh0QQ0zTT6Xuh2ZpiMMBb-noHRrRKeKebq7UC0-4noSh7Ev048pgtwucQE86K2s8nVTVqDm~7GDMsKzHS6AoSfM49LWR7SaiwoVm1CI2M5d2T6XNVw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Waverly Planning and Zoning Commission discussed on July 3 forthcoming code changes after state law required cities to allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

Commissioners said the state directive is broad and that the city’s current code does not clearly define ADUs. Staff and commissioners talked through questions including whether ADUs must be permanently occupiable dwellings under local building codes, whether they could be separate addresses, and whether temporary structures such as RVs would qualify. Staff noted that if an accessory unit is treated as an additional dwelling, building-code requirements and setbacks would apply and that an RV parked in a backyard would not meet occupiable-building standards.

Commissioners asked staff to track the council’s forthcoming ordinance changes and to schedule review by the planning commission so members can assess how to incorporate ADU rules into local code. The city’s next council meeting was identified as part of the process; commissioners were advised to be prepared to review draft language and to consider factors such as parking, utility connections, and occupancy standards.

The discussion was framed as an early warning and preparatory step; no formal motion or regulatory change occurred at the July 3 meeting.","Commissioners on July 3 discussed new state requirements that will force revisions allowing accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

City planning staff said the surveyed portion, identified in the packet as Parcel LL, would be able to be sold in the future as a commercial development site and would take vehicle access via an easement across the property to the east rather than from the bank parcel. Staff described the application as a straightforward parceling that preserves the bank’s remaining property and creates a separately sellable lot.

The commission debated only briefly and voted by voice to recommend approval; the chair declared the motion passed with no opposition. The motion to recommend approval and apply the survey to City Council was moved and seconded during the meeting.

The commission noted that the owner could later further subdivide adjacent land if they chose to do so, but any subsequent subdivisions would need to return to the appropriate review process. The next formal step is consideration by the City Council; the commission’s recommendation does not itself approve development plans or building permits for the parcel.

Speakers identified in the meeting who addressed this item included Paige (city planning staff) and multiple Planning and Zoning commissioners. Paige presented the application and answered commission questions about access and future subdivision possibilities.

The council will receive the commission’s recommendation at a future meeting for final action.","The Waverly Planning and Zoning Commission on July 3 recommended that the City Council accept a survey to parcel off 1.15 acres from CUSB Bank property at 933 Sixteenth Street Southwest, creating a potential commercial development lot with access via an easement to the east.","actionData","errors"]
