Berkeley County officials approve residence on 33,000-square-foot Lehi 1 parcel
Summary
Officials voted to allow a residence on a roughly 33,000-square-foot parcel in the Lehi 1 zone after discussing minimum lot-size rules for the Flex 1 designation and site details including a fire hydrant adjacent to the property.
Berkeley County officials voted to allow construction of a residence on a roughly 33,000-square-foot parcel within the Lehi 1 zone, citing the Flex 1 minimum-lot-size standard and site conditions discussed at the meeting.
County staff said the property is about 33,000 square feet, which the staff characterized as meeting Flex 1's minimum lot-size threshold of 30,000 square feet. During the discussion, a resident noted a fire hydrant located immediately in front of the property.
The meeting record shows a presiding official identified as “Mister Downey” asked staff whether there was anything further to add; staff replied, “Nothing further.” After motions and voice vote, three “aye” responses were recorded and no opposition was announced.
Speakers and applicants discussed using the lot for a residence for a family member; one participant asked, “He's planning on moving on it?” The resident also remarked, “Fire hydrant right in front of his property, and they're still there now too as well.”
Staff also said the timing of the request is related to an incremental update to the county's zoning ordinance and invited interested parties to follow that process, saying, "we thought it was timely given that we are pursuing an incremental update to the zoning ordinance. So we hope to see y'all there." The record does not specify a future date for that update or any required permits beyond the item heard.
The recorded motion is listed on the agenda as “T m S209Dash00Dash” in the transcript; mover and seconder were not identified in the record provided. The vote was recorded as three ayes; the transcript does not list individual member names tied to those votes.
No statutes, ordinances, or other legal citations were referenced explicitly in the portions of the record provided. The transcript does not specify next procedural steps such as permit issuance, appeal periods, or conditions of approval beyond the brief staff and public comments included in the hearing record.
