Siblings seek split of 25.48-acre tract in Danielsville to settle estate

Sharon Keller and Kenneth King requested that Madison County rezone and split a 25.48-acre tract at 0 Wildcat Bridge Road in Danielsville so each sibling would receive 12.74 acres as part of settling their parents’ estate.

Planning staff told the Madison County Planning Commission the proposal would rezone a 12.74-acre portion from A1 to A R to allow a 4-acre tract and an 8.74-acre tract, and to rezone the remaining 12.74 acres from A1 to A2 so the property complies with county regulations. The staff presentation said, “So each child was to get 12.74 acres.”

The rezoning request is intended to give Sharon Keller a 4-acre lot for her daughter while Kenneth King would retain the existing larger tract. Planning staff reported the parcel has 231.4 feet of road frontage, which staff said was not adequate for all three proposed tracts; Track 1 would receive the road frontage and Tracks 2 and 3 would be accessed by a 30-foot easement. Staff noted the easement would be used by immediate family members and “will not be required to be paid.”

There was no formal vote or motion on the rezoning recorded in the portion of the transcript provided. Commission discussion consisted of clarifying the proposed splits, frontage and access; no public opposition was recorded in the excerpt.

The commission packet included the application and maps showing the parcel as Map 65, Parcel 35 in District 4. The record in the meeting excerpt does not show a final decision; the item was presented as part of zoning applications for an upcoming public hearing on June 17, 2025.
