Planning commission approves 5.6-acre split on Fred Goss Road after driveway access review
Summary
Andrew Saunders requested a 5.6-acre split from a 40.97-acre parcel at 0 Fred Goss Road; the planning commission recommended approval after discussing driveway access rules that limit private-drive service to four lots and potential future access easement adjustments.
Andrew Saunders asked the Madison County Planning and Zoning Committee to split and rezone a 5.6-acre portion of a 40.97-acre tract at 0 Fred Goss Road in Danielsville; the committee recommended approval after discussing access questions related to a private driveway.
Saunders explained the project intent: create a homestead site between his parcel and a neighbor’s property and, later, consider conservation options for the remainder. Commissioners discussed Section 8.20.10.2 of the county zoning regulations, which the applicant and staff referenced during debate: private drives may serve a maximum of four lots, and the commission and applicant discussed whether currently unoccupied parcels count toward that limit. Saunders said some parcels have fee-simple access to the public road and indicated willingness to convert drive rights to easements if needed.
After confirming drive access arrangements, the commission opened the public hearing, recorded no opposition and approved the recommendation to forward the rezoning to the Board of Commissioners. Commissioners noted staff and applicant would resolve technical access/easement work before final subdivision steps.
