Board approves driveway variances with lot-tie conditions for Cruise Land & Livestock parcels
Summary
Supervisors approved two entrance-variance applications for Cruise Land & Livestock LLC and required lot ties between front and back parcels to provide frontage and limit separate sales.
The Warren County Board of Supervisors approved two entrance-variance applications submitted by Cruise Land & Livestock LLC and added lot-tie conditions linking small frontage parcels to their larger rear parcels.
County staff explained that four parcels are involved and recommended the board require lot ties so the small front parcels and the larger back parcels would be tied together; that preserves necessary frontage for the back parcels but prevents separate sale of the smaller lots. Applicant Mr. Cruz acknowledged the proposal and the board discussed sight-distance and safety concerns for the driveways. Supervisor Harrison noted limited sight distance and encouraged the applicant to work with neighbors about safety. The board approved the first variance (FE application 1961) with the lot ties for parcels ending in 657 and 680 and later approved the second driveway/variance with lot ties for parcels ending in 441 and 420. Both motions passed by roll call.
Why it matters: The lot ties affect future property sales and how driveways provide access from the county road. The board’s action grants the requested entrance variances while adding conditions intended to preserve frontage for the rear parcels and limit separate conveyance of the small front parcels.
Next steps: Staff will record the lot-tie condition as required and process driveway permits; the applicant will need to follow county driveway and safety standards for installation.
