Resident says outside counsel found Barbourville development nonconforming with UDO
Summary
A resident told the council an out-of-state developer's project at Barbourville and Fort Mill Highway does not conform to the Unified Development Ordinance and that staff has not acted on the opinion; she urged planners and council to require planning commission review.
Shannene Clifton told the Lancaster County Council that outside counsel reviewed development work at Barbourville and Fort Mill Highway and concluded the project is not conforming with the Unified Development Ordinance. "The short answer that we got back, is it's illegal," Clifton said, and she told the council she was frustrated by what she described as a lack of staff response and continued developer activity.
Clifton asked that the county move the matter to the planning commission and process any variance requests rather than allowing the project to proceed without formal review. She said neighbors have pulled listings and that property values are being harmed by the developer's actions as described.
Why it matters: Clifton framed the issue as a procedural and enforcement problem: if the county does not require the developer to follow the UDO and go before the planning commission, neighbors have limited recourse. She urged council intervention to ensure conformance and fair treatment for adjacent property owners.
Ending: The transcript records Clifton's public comment and the request for staff action; the council's response or any enforcement action is not recorded in this portion of the meeting.
