Zoning board hears special‑use request to create a new dwelling site in wooded area; no objections recorded
Summary
Nicholas Neville requested a special use to split and create a dwelling site on a 40‑acre parcel; staff said the proposed home would be sited in timbered ground more than 700 feet from the road and saw no visual or traffic impacts.
Nicholas Neville asked the Tazewell County Zoning Board of Appeals for permission to create one new dwelling site on a 40‑acre parcel; the application divides the parcel so an 11‑acre northern tract will be separate from the southern 29 acres but the house site will be located in a wooded area well back from the road.
County staff reported the site is more than 700 feet from the road, will be in timber rather than productive cropland, and will not create notable visual or traffic impacts. The health department noted well and septic permits are required and that a survey plat signature by the health department was not required for the application. The applicant said he expects to begin building within about a year and that he will continue to farm the front portion of the tract.
The zoning board received no contested testimony; as this is a class B case the zoning board has final authority to approve or deny the special use. The transcript does not show the board’s final vote in the record provided.
