Board approves multiple minor subdivisions and a sign variance; Barn Place passes 3–2
Summary
At its Nov. 6 meeting the board approved multiple minor subdivisions (Josh's Estate, Camp Lane) and granted a variance to Digital 1 LLC for a roadside sign; Barn Place minor subdivision passed on a 3–2 vote, reflecting dissent among members.
The Calpine Drainage Board approved several land-use and permit items on Nov. 6, including minor subdivisions and a setback variance for a sign.
Joe Herndon of Saraw Lane Surveying represented a two-lot split, Josh's Estate, on County Road 72; the surveyor recommended approval and the board approved the minor subdivision. Joe Gabbitt of 4 State Consulting described the Barn Place one-lot subdivision at 3978 County Road 62 and said the lot would be roughly 2.5 acres net; the surveyor recommended approval, and the board approved the Barn Place minor subdivision but the motion carried 3–2, indicating two board members opposed the measure.
The Camp Lane minor subdivision, described by the applicant as a split where a son intends to build a single-family home, received a favorable recommendation from the surveyor and board approval. The board also reviewed utility permits for AEP pole replacements and discussed the absence of some utility representatives.
The board granted a variance request for Digital 1 LLC to reduce a state-right-of-way setback for a 5-by-3 sign on Merchants Drive from the standard (75-foot) setback to 60 feet; the surveyor recommended approval and the motion passed despite at least one member saying they would vote no because the applicant was not present.
Earlier routine business included approving the Oct. 16 minutes and an attorney claim for $1,295. The board recorded motions and carried votes for these items as part of the meeting’s consent actions.
