Commission approves small boundary exchange between neighboring Fort Mill parcels
Summary
The planning commission approved rezoning case 25-05, a land swap that exchanges about 8,000 square feet between two adjoining parcels on Holbrook Road and Hamlin Road to resolve a fence encroachment and ensure each resulting parcel sits entirely within a single zoning district.
The York County Planning Commission on March 10 approved rezoning case 25-05, a boundary adjustment between two adjacent parcels east of the Dobies Bridge Road/Fort Mill Parkway intersection. Applicants Julio Moreno and Jean Wyland requested the exchange to correct an encroaching fence and align parcel lines so each parcel lies wholly within a single zoning district.
Thomas Newland, Long Range Planner, described the swap as an exchange of roughly 8,000 square feet between the two lots and said the intended uses of both properties would remain unchanged. Newland recommended approval and staff noted both parcels have neighborhood residential future land use designations.
Commission discussion focused on the fence and whether a boundary survey and recordation would be required. A commissioner asked whether an agreement between the two property owners was needed; staff indicated a condition would require subdivision or recordation. A motion to approve was made with a condition that the property be subdivided so that a single zoning district is applied to a parcel and that the subdivision be recorded within nine days. The motion passed; the transcript does not record individual vote tallies or the names of the mover and seconder.
Documents in the file indicate the subject tax map numbers are 7390000155 and 7410000080 and the parcels are located on Holbrook Road and Hamlin Road in unincorporated Fort Mill (Council District 7). Staff noted accessory buildings and a fenced area overlapped the shared property line, which prompted the land exchange to resolve the encroachment.
Staff and commissioners also discussed that fences are owner-located features under county rules and that boundary location is the responsibility of property owners; staff recommended and the commission imposed a subdivision/recordation condition to regularize the boundaries.
