At a planning commission workshop, owner John Wright described a rezoning request (RZ‑11‑25‑01) to consolidate a split‑zoned parcel (Madison County tax map 46‑39A) to a single A‑1 designation to accommodate a boundary‑line adjustment with a neighboring 46‑27 parcel and to provide clear access via Trinity Lane.

Mister Nichols, planning staff, summarized the application and recommended consolidating split zoning on small parcels because split zones can be awkward and harder to manage. Nichols told the commission that the parcel contains only a small area of conservation and that boundary‑line adjustment would reduce the parcel’s nonconformity if the rezoning is approved.

Wright told commissioners he wants “clean and clear access” to the 8‑acre parcel behind the subject lot and described an existing two‑bedroom mobile home and pole barn on the smaller parcel. He noted a historic right‑of‑way running back into the property that previously functioned as a buggy access.

Commissioners probed topography, septic/well capacity, and whether the proposed boundary‑line adjustment and rezoning would be conforming. Nichols said the adjusted parcel would not be reduced below 3 acres — the A‑1 minimum referenced in the discussion — and that the project appears conforming with a BLA provided minimum lot sizes are maintained. Several commissioners asked whether additional approvals (site plan, subdivision, or a 2232 hearing) would be required; staff said site plan/subdivision review and demonstration of utilities would be required for further development and that utility availability (public sewer) would largely determine whether higher densities are possible.

No formal decision was made at the workshop. Staff and the applicant will continue to coordinate and any formal application will proceed through required subdivision/site‑plan reviews and public hearings as appropriate.
