Summary

The Planning Commission recommended and the Board of Supervisors approved a special-use permit for Black Cat Antiques on a 36.77-acre A-1 parcel (Madison County tax map 45-21), with a condition restricting auction activity to online-only and scheduling pickup to manage traffic.

The Board of Supervisors approved a special-use permit for an antique, craft and gift shop proposed for a 36.77-acre parcel identified as Madison County tax map 45-21.

Applicant Angie Brown (recorded as Angie/Carrie Brown in the hearing packet) requested the permit to operate an antique and gift shop and operate an auction establishment on land zoned A-1 Agriculture. Planning staff told the Planning Commission that draft conditions limit any auction activity to online-only formats and require that scheduled customer pick-ups be spread over a designated period to keep traffic flow manageable; no live auctions on site were recommended because of ingress/egress and parking constraints.

Planning Commissioners said they had already addressed questions in two prior workshops and recommended approval with the conditions described above. The Planning Commission’s motion to forward case SUDash02Dash25Dash2 to the Board of Supervisors for approval carried with a second and a positive vote.

At the Board meeting, a motion to approve the special-use permit as presented by the Planning Commission was made, seconded and approved. No public commenters spoke against the application at the public hearing.

Staff noted the parcel has sufficient parking and that the applicant indicated no further changes were planned. The Board’s approval binds the property to the conditions adopted by the Planning Commission and recorded in the permit packet.
