Developer presses for variances on Huntsville FM 247 project; commissioners push back, request more details

Oct 20, 2026

Liberty Bank/Hayden Moses sought multiple variances to allow 10-acre tract exemptions, single access and nonconcrete roads for a large subdivision. Commissioners repeatedly emphasized the county's preference for dual access and concrete streets and asked the applicant to return with revised plans and additional coordination with TxDOT and neighboring property owners.

The full story

Hayden Moses, representing the applicant, presented variance requests for a planned development on FM 247 that would create roughly 85 tracts across ~911 acres and seek planning exemptions for 10-acre parcels. The applicant said the layout was revised to pursue meets-and-bounds sales rather than final platting and that infrastructure would be constructed prior to any sales.
