Commission gives OK to lot split
Posted on Thursday, November 20, 2008
ELKINS -- The Elkins Planning Commission held a brief meeting Monday evening to make a decision on a lot split and discuss a potentially dangerous drainage ditch.
Vice chairman Jeremy Stevens called the meeting to order.
The county lot split for Justin Jorgenson was approved by all members who were present for the meeting with only a question about easements on the property.
Planning Commission leader Don Cryder asked each member to take a look at a property on Kelly Lynn Street that has a drainage ditch at the edge of it. It drains onto the next property and the owner of it considers it to be a danger.
“ The drain runs through his property, but he’s not concerned about the erosion -- he’s concerned about safety, ” Cryder said. “ He’s concerned a child could get into it and drown. ”
Cryder said he would invite both the developer of the Kelly Lynn property in the Miller’s Meadows subdivision and the owner of the other property to the next meeting. “ We’ll see what can be done then after you take a look at it. ”
The meeting then adjourned after only 15 minutes.
