Commission grants family subdivision waiver for Jamie Sides property off East Ridge Road
Summary
The board approved a family subdivision waiver (FSW-0125) to allow owner Jamie Sides to split roughly 1 acre from a 10-acre parcel to transfer to his niece, Amanda Mason; staff said the new house will not affect traffic capacity on East Ridge Road.
The Rowan County Board of Commissioners on May 5 approved a family subdivision waiver (FSW-0125) requested by property owner Jamie Sides to split approximately 1 acre from a roughly 10-acre parcel off East Ridge Road and transfer it to his niece, Amanda Mason.
Aaron, a county planner, summarized the Family Subdivision criteria and staff comments. He said the division would create one new lot for a total of two, that the surrounding area is primarily residential and that the section of East Ridge Road has a capacity of about 13,600 vehicles but carried approximately 2,900 vehicles as of 2022; staff did not anticipate a single new house would affect road traffic. Because the niece does not meet the county's administrative definition of an "immediate family member," the waiver required the Board of Commissioners' approval.
Commissioner Mike moved to approve FSW-0125; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with no opposition recorded. Staff listed procedural steps the applicant must complete, including notarized documentation and a plat approval, as required by the county subdivision ordinance.
The board's action permits the family conveyance under county rules and does not itself approve building permits or other land-use approvals beyond the subdivision waiver.
