P Motion by Commissioner Barman, seconded by Commissioner Wright to adopt Attorney Hazelbaker’s draft motion language* confirming a split is needed to build a new home while keeping the existing home*. Motion carried, 6-1. * The Plan Commission has received advice from Mark Roffers, the Town of Springfield’s planning consultant, in response to Ryan Faga’s request for approval of his concept plan for establishing a guest lodging house on Lot 2 of the certified survey map of his property at 5827 Highway P in the Town. Based upon Mr. Roffer’s advice and the Commission’s review of the Town’s comprehensive plan, the Plan Commission finds that the lodging house would constitute a second residence on the parcel. In order to construct an additional residence, Mr. Faga would need to have a density unit (also known as a “split”). For that reason, the Plan Commission denies Mr. Faga’s request for approval of his concept. 10. DISCUSSION: LOT 6 SPRINGFIELD COMMERCIAL PARK DESIGN REVIEW FOR BUSINESS CONDOS BY SCHWENN BROS.
