City of Independence Planning Commission and City Council Meeting Minutes
The meetings covered multiple development and property-related requests. Discussions included a variance request for a swimming pool setback that was approved, a lot combination for a minor subdivision that was approved, and a variance request for an oversized accessory structure that was denied due to lack of demonstrated practical difficulty. The Planning Commission also reviewed a revised conditional use permit application for an accessory dwelling unit, involving building relocation and architectural compatibility adjustments. Additionally, the City Council awarded the 2026 Gravel Road Reconstruction Project contract to the lowest bidder, New Look Contracting, Inc.
