New subdivisions on planning agenda

Two new subdivisions are in the planning stages in Sisters.

The Sisters Urban Area Planning Commission will review plans for a 16-lot subdivision on 2.94 acres and 45 lots on 7.43 acres, both along Larch Street on the north end of Sisters.

The 45-lot subdivision by Richard Carpenter includes a variety of configurations ranging from 3,013-square-foot townhome lots to 6,949-square-foot single family lots.

The 16-lot subdivision by Michael Black includes "roughly equivalent shaped lots from 6,092- to 6,505-square-foot residential lots," according to the planning staff report.

City planner Neil Thompson has recommended preliminary plat approval of both subdivisions.

The planners will also discuss variance requests regarding sideyard setbacks and minimum lot sizes.

The planning commission meets on Wednesday, March 20, at 7:30 p.m. at Sisters City Hall.

A comprehensive plan workshop will be held prior to the regular meeting at 5:30 p.m.

Planners will select an advisory committee.

Public participation in the workshop is requested.
