Summary

Nick Jefferson asked to split and rezone a 10.94-acre portion of a 52.22-acre parcel at 1745 Hannah Creek Church Road so he can retain a house and 10 acres and sell the remainder to pay off his mortgage; the planning panel recommended approval.

Nick Jefferson told the Madison County Planning and Zoning Committee he seeks to split 10.94 acres from his 52.22-acre property at 1745 Hannah Creek Church Road in Royston to retain the house and 10 acres and sell the remainder to pay off the mortgage. The committee recommended approval and will forward the file to the Board of Commissioners.

Jefferson said the sale of the 41 acres would generate proceeds to retire his mortgage so he and his family could continue living on the retained ten acres without debt. The committee opened the public hearing and recorded no opposition. After brief discussion, a motion to approve the rezoning recommendation carried and will be presented to the Board of Commissioners at the scheduled hearing.

The committee reiterated the public hearing and recommendation process: application, public comment, and the planning commission’s advisory recommendation to the county commission for final action.
