Commissioners grant variance allowing steeper slopes in limited areas of Legacy Grand Ranch plan
Summary
The court approved a variance permitting up to 3:1 slopes at specific creek crossings in the Legacy Grand Ranch subdivision, with engineering and stabilization requirements attached to final plan approval.
Walker County commissioners on Monday approved a limited variance allowing developers of Legacy Grand Ranch to use steeper slopes at identified creek-crossing areas as they finalize subdivision design.
The court—s action modifies a standard in county subdivision regulations that ordinarily limits roadside and ditch slopes to gentler grades. Commissioners and county staff said the variance applies only to stationed, identified locations and requires engineered slope-stabilization measures and specific erosion-control materials.
