CAMDEN COUNTY, Mo. — The real estate market is thriving at Lake of the Ozarks, and local developers are clearing the way for new single-family homes in Camden County.

In July, the county's Planning and Zoning Commission approved an array of requests for rezones and replats, opening the door for construction. (Note: all rezones and conditional use permits must receive final approval/denial from the three-person County Commission. The county's P&Z Commission makes a recommendation to approve or deny after reviewing each case.)

Linn Creek Subdivision

First the commission approved recommending a request by Jake Wackerman, owner of Caledoina Place LLC, to rezone a portion of a 158-acre tract from B-2 General Commercial to R-1 Low Density Residential at their Wednesday, July 20 P&Z meeting. The property is located on the north side of Anderson Hollow in Linn Creek. 

This property and surrounding properties are zoned R-1 Low Density Residential, B-2 General Commercial and A-1 Agricultural. 

The action sought to rezone approximately 61.7 acres of the 158-acre tract from B-2 to R-1, for the purpose of creating a subdivision and combing a 61.07-acre tract with an adjoining 4.05-acre tract. The proposed subdivision will consist of 18 three-acre tracts of what Wackerman said would be “higher-end, $250,000 single family homes.”

During the public hearing on this request, Mike Webb, who lives near the property commented that “a company” had dumped their waste over a hillside near the property for years and it could affect the property. Webb said he was not speaking for or against the rezone request. 

More single-family homes at Oak Ridge Bay

The commission unanimously approved a request by Al Wilson, Trustee of the Rolland H. Wilson Family, to re-subdivide Lot C of Townhomes at Oak Ridge Bay, located on Nautica Road in Greenview. Wilson plans to split Lot C into 14 buildable lots for single family homes, or duplexes. 

The property is approximately 16.6 acres and is zoned R-3 Medium Density Residential.

Two more approvals for up to 22 additional new homes in Camdenton

The commission also approved a request by Dan Spanburg, representing Mistwood Inc., for a preliminary plat of three parcels, located on Mistwood Bluff Road in Camdenton.

The applicant plans to build a subdivision on the property, which is approximately 31 acres and zoned R-1 Low Density Residential. The action sought to develop 12 lots for Phase 1 of the Mistwood Mooring Subdivision.

The applicant stated that each house will have a lift station and affluent would be moved to the same treatment field and three houses will share one well. 

The commission also approved a second request by Spanburg for a preliminary plat of two parcels, consisting of approximately three acres, zoned R-1 for the purpose of developing the property into 10 lots, in Phase 2. This property is also located on Mistwood Bluff Road in Camdenton.

Camden County Commissioner Jacob Nuesche commented that Spanburg was subdividing in two phases for the purpose avoiding the requirement to obtain approval from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, DNR, on the sewer system, which would be much more costly.

Rezone approved for new home on Wavy Leaf Drive 

The commission approved recommending a request by Rebekah Lardizabal to rezone a 2.9-acre property, located at 430 Wavy Leaf Drive in Linn Creek, from B-2 to R-1. The purpose of the rezone is to build a home next to family that owns the adjoining property. This rezone was accomplished at no cost to the owner, due to it being miss-zoned in the initial zoning process.

The surrounding properties are zoned R-1, R-2 and B-2.

Nuesche advised the applicant that in the future, to be sure the property is re-platted to a size of at least three acres in order to avoid costly (up to $50,000) DNR septic requirements.

The commission also approved recommending a request by Vicki Gardner to rezone property located at 430 Wavy Leaf Drive from B-2 to R-1. This was also a no fee rezone due to the property being incorrectly zoned in the initial zoning process.

Gardner wished to rezone the property to R-1 to reflect the past and present use of the property, which is residential. The surrounding properties are zoned R-1, R-2 and B-2.

Other business

Osage Beach rezone correction approved

The commission also approved recommending a request by applicant Maggie Schaffer, representing owner Jeremy and Rebecca Egolf, to rezone their property on Alpine Lane in Osage Beach, from R-1 Low Density Residential to R-3 High Density Residential.  

The surrounding properties in the area are zoned R-3 High Density Residential, R-1 Low Density Residential and B2 General Commercial. 

According to the P&Z staff report, when zoning was adopted by the county, the parcel in question, and the parcel directly to the south, shared the same ownership, and the same land use, and was accessed by the same driveway. One parcel was zoned R-1 and the other R-3. Also, according to the report, it appeared to be an error, since the property has multiple residences and is best suited to R-3.

Camden County Planning and Zoning Administrator Tanna Wirtz counseled the commissioners that approval of this request would result in spot zoning. This case was approved by P&Z commissioners.

Preliminary plat approved on Crystal Springs Road 

The commission approved a request by Lawrence and Karen Iverson for a preliminary plat of two parcels located on Crystal Springs Road in Linn Creek. The property is approximately 14.1 acres and is zoned R-1 Low Density Residential. The action sought to split the parcel. Currently, there is a single-family residence located on this parcel and they were requesting to divide Lot 1, and leave the remaining parcel of approximately 13.89 acres.

Zoning error corrected in Porto Cima

The commission approved recommending a request by Private Quarters/Porto Cima Property Owners Association, LLC, to rezone a .70-acre parcel of land, consisting of a fourplex, from R-1 Low Density Residential to R-2 Medium Density Residential to comply with zoning conformity. 

The parcel is located at 15 Cia Pendio in Sunrise Beach. The surrounding properties (21 multiple residential buildings) are zoned R-2. The lot appeared to have been miss-zoned when zoning was first implemented. Due to the size of the property, they will not be able to build additional structures.

The next meeting of the Camden County Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 15 on the third floor of the Camden County Courthouse.
