Millville P&Z approves three homes

By Joseph Sheppard

February 11, 2005 | MILLVILLE -- The planning commission gave zoning clearance for three new houses and approved a new committee member on Thursday.

The commission unanimously gave approval for the clearance of two houses in the Shire subdivision. These came after concern and recommendations about the placement of a septic tank and about whether one home had a water catch basin.

Planning Commission Chairman Jim Hart said the Shire has 53 lots and that they are selling fast.

The committee also gave clearance for a house in the almost complete Millville Estates subdivision.

With each clearance came the standard charge from the commission that grass be maintained on the knolls in front of each house and that the landscaping be completed within two years.

"Millville is country living at its finest," Hart said to the future residents of the homes. "Along with it come the country odor and the flies. Welcome to Millville."

Rex Davidsivor was accepted to fill the vacancy created by exiting commissioner, Ron June. June is moving to Laramie, Wyo.

The committee recognized Catyse Easton as a new alternate for the committee. The city council will be choosing a new vice chairman in its upcoming meeting. That position has been vacant since the previous vice chairman, Greg Stott, took a position as the city development coordinator.
