Commission forwards rezoning request for 1.7-acre Thatcher parcel to allow subdivision
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to forward a favorable recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for a rezoning request by Ryan Layton (APN 104-29-003) to permit dividing a 1.7-acre parcel on Mullins Lane into smaller residential lots.
The Graham County Planning and Zoning Commission voted to forward a favorable recommendation to the Board of Supervisors for REZ932-25, a request by Ryan Layton to rezone APN 104-29-003 (1.7 acres) from General Land Use to RR (single-family residential) so the parcel can be split into smaller lots.
Layton told the commission he inherited the largest parcel in a subdivision formed before local zoning; the surrounding lots are smaller than current zoning requires. He said the proposal would create two roughly half-acre lots and leave about 0.7 acres in the middle, which would allow a back house to be placed on its own parcel. Layton said a neighboring property owner wants to buy the eastern portion to provide access for a relative who lives nearby.
Commissioners asked about access and legal easements. Layton said he would grant frontage and include the existing driveway in a new parcel; he said a formal survey is required and that the legal descriptions and access arrangements would be clarified once rezoning is approved. He said notified neighbors provided no comments either way.
A commissioner moved to forward the rezoning recommendation; another seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote. The item will be scheduled for the Board of Supervisors; the transcript records a July 7 hearing date for similar items but did not record a specific final date for this parcel.
