Committee recommends split and dual rezoning for Wakefield family parcel on Highway 29 South
Summary
The planning commission recommended approval of Eric Borders’ application—representing the Wakefield family—to split and dual-zone approximately 10.98 acres at 7968 Highway 29 South, allowing retention of a homestead and rezoning of remaining acreage.
Eric Borders, representing the Wakefield family, told the Madison County Planning and Zoning Committee the family seeks to split roughly 10.98 acres at 7968 Highway 29 South in Hull so they can retain the Wakefield homestead and rezone remaining acreage for sale. The committee recommended approval and will forward the recommendation to the Board of Commissioners.
Borders said the parcel has been in the Wakefield family for about 85 years; the plan preserves the triangular homestead piece for family use and rezones roughly 8 acres for potential future residential subdivision (two 4-acre lots) though no immediate development plan exists. Borders noted the family’s historical connection to the nearby church and past land donations.
The committee opened the public hearing, recorded no opposition, and approved forwarding the recommendation to the county commission. Staff confirmed the split and zoning classifications on the record; commissioners advised the applicant of the next Board of Commissioners hearing date.
