Commission approves minor two‑lot subdivision for Cammarata; accessory‑structure cap passes, renewables hearing set
The Boone County Area Planning Commission on Dec. 3 approved petition 25SC‑7M‑120, a proposed two‑lot minor residential subdivision for property owned by Lawrence Cammarata at (recorded address) 1226 N Parker Avenue (petitioner address shown in the record). Staff summarized technical advisory committee comments on soil borings and septic suitability: lot 1 was found suitable for an in‑ground septic system without a perimeter drain, while lot 2 requires an above‑ground septic system and a perimeter drain because of a seasonal high water table. Staff also noted the need to show a drainage outlet and, if basements are proposed, sump pump outlets on the plat; highway department standards require driveway permits and right‑of‑way dedication per the county thoroughfare plan. Planning staff recommended approval provided TAC comments are addressed and deed commitments are added to restrict further subdivision and require a shared driveway/no‑access easement across remaining frontage.

Petitioner Lawrence Cammarata addressed the commission and confirmed coordination with neighboring landowners to establish required septic connections; he thanked staff for assistance. After brief discussion by commissioners and no public opposition, a motion to approve the minor plat passed by voice vote; the transcript does not record a numerical roll call or the exact vote tally.

Separately, the commission approved a zoning amendment that caps accessory structures at 4,000 square feet on residential platted lots in the agricultural district but exempts lots of 20 acres or more where the structure is a farm or agricultural building as defined in the ordinance. That amendment was discussed and moved through at the meeting with voice approval.

The commission also announced a special hearing on Dec. 17 at Western Boone Jr–Sr High School to consider a draft renewables overlay ordinance; the draft will be posted for public review before the hearing. Public comment on Dec. 3 included remarks from Daniel Straka of the Land and Liberty Coalition urging respect for private property rights in drafting energy‑related rules.

The planning commission recorded routine administrative items (minutes approval, scheduling) and adjourned. The transcript provides no numeric vote counts for the plat approval or the accessory‑structure amendment; those outcomes were recorded as approved by voice vote in the meeting record.
