In a recent government meeting, significant discussions centered around land use changes and development proposals in the area. A request was made to subdivide 275 acres into six large lots, ranging from 17 to 109 acres, located near the intersection of Radleigh Ferry Road and the Natchez Trace. The proposal includes a zoning change for approximately 24 acres from agricultural to commercial, addressing the lack of commercial properties in the vicinity.
The committee unanimously approved the subdivision request, with no opposition raised during the meeting. The developers aim to finalize a plat to facilitate the sale of these lots.
Additionally, a request for a zoning change from agricultural to industrial was presented by Joe B. Hardy. This request was previously discussed in the last meeting but lacked proper documentation regarding notifications to surrounding landowners. Hardy confirmed that the necessary certified mail receipts had now been obtained, ensuring compliance with procedural requirements. The committee again approved this request without opposition.
Another speaker, Rita Hardy, echoed the same situation regarding her request, which was also approved following the correction of previous procedural oversights.
Timothy Jenkins provided an update on his recent acquisition of 19 acres on Hawkins Thompson Lane, noting the complexities involved in closing the deal due to multiple heirs. His acquisition marks a significant step in the ongoing development efforts in the area.
The meeting concluded with a clear indication of support for the proposed developments, reflecting a proactive approach to land use and community growth.
