Court approves discretionary subdivision exemption allowing 4.76-acre deed transfer in Precinct 2
Summary
Henderson County Commissioners Court approved a discretionary exemption under Appendix U of the county subdivision regulations permitting John and Linda Rigo to deed a 4.76‑acre parcel at FM 2709 and County Road 2904 to Steven and Carrie Thompson after submitting required studies and fees.
Henderson County Commissioners Court unanimously approved a discretionary exemption under Appendix U of the county subdivision regulations that will allow a landowner to deed a 4.76‑acre parcel in Precinct 2 to another local resident.
County staff told the court that John and Linda Rigo sought the exemption to deed a 4.76‑acre portion of property at Farm Market Road 2709 and County Road 2904 to Steven and Carrie Thompson. Staff reported the applicants completed required steps including a floodplain study through the county development office, submitted tax receipts and paid filing fees for the Appendix U request.
A commissioner moved to approve the request; another commissioner seconded the motion. The court voted to approve the discretionary exemption unanimously.
Why it matters: Appendix U discretionary exemptions alter the way the county’s subdivision rules apply to a specific parcel. In this case the court authorized a single‑parcel deed transfer after staff confirmed that application requirements and study documentation were complete. The applicants were not present at the meeting because of a medical appointment, county staff said.
The court did not attach conditions beyond the standard application requirements discussed on the record; no further action was recorded and the county will process the deed per standard administrative procedures.
