Planning board recommends approval of Midland Road lot-line adjustment
Summary
The Effingham County Planning Board voted May 13, 2025, to recommend approval of a rezoning to bring a 1.13-acre nonconforming lot at 4426 Midland Road into conformity after a land-swap with a neighbor.
The Effingham County Planning Board on May 13, 2025, recommended approval to rezone 1.13 acres at 4426 Midland Road from AR-1 to AR-2 so the parcel will conform after a proposed land swap with a neighbor. Staff told the board the request is to bring a nonconforming AR-1 lot into conformity because property lines will shift as part of the swap.
Applicant Chris Ross said the change involves redrawing the property line with his neighbor and that there will be no increase in the overall parcel count. "Chelsea has summed it up pretty well," Ross said, and clarified there would be no increase to create additional lots as part of this swap.
Staff again noted that development services must review and sign the plat and that the zoning change is effective only after the plat is recorded. Planning Board member Patrick moved to recommend approval; Mr. Boykin seconded. The board voted in favor with no recorded nays.
The recommendation will be forwarded to the Effingham County Board of Commissioners for final action at its June 2025 meeting.
