Warren considers larger minimum lot

LEBANON - Only a year after increasing lot size requirements for new subdivisions, Warren County leaders could be considering another change aimed at reducing the number of new homes being built.

Commissioner Mike Kilburn Tuesday suggested the county increase the minimum size for lots with sewer access to three-quarters of an acre, up 50 percent from the standards set last June.

County commissioners are expected to discuss the idea at Thursday's growth management forum, which starts at 5 p.m. at the county building, 406 Justice Drive.

Currently, new homes must be on lots of at least half an acre in areas with sewer and on at least 2 acres for areas without sewer access.

The requirement applies to homes built in the five townships under county zoning control, though other townships are changing their standards to mirror the county's requirements.
