At the planning‑board portion of the Dec. 2 meeting the board and commissioners addressed a series of rezoning and small‑subdivision requests.

Minnie Wilder’s application to rezone about 2.44 acres from AR‑1 to AR‑2 was recommended and approved to allow AR‑2 permitted uses; staff said the parcel aligns with the county’s future land‑use map. The board later approved the second reading.

An application by Carter Justice (agent for Jason Reed) to rezone roughly 0.9 acres from B‑1 to B‑3 prompted confusion about intended uses: application materials listed truck/trailer/golf‑cart sales while the applicant told the board he intended only office space and a self‑serve ice machine. Rather than risk a misfire, the applicant and staff elected to table the item so the applicant can work with staff and clarify the proper zoning and site‑plan needs.

Michael Menard’s request to rezone approximately 11.43 acres at 1899 Old Lewisville Road from AR‑1 to AR‑3 was approved subject to a planning-board condition that each lot be limited to one principal dwelling (no accessory dwelling units). Public commenters raised concerns about a private service easement that currently serves multiple homes, potential wetland impacts, and whether all adjacent property owners were properly notified; staff pointed to the county’s 200‑foot/notice procedures and said records show courtesy letters were sent. Several neighbors asked about maintenance responsibilities for the private easement; the board encouraged adjacent landowners to discuss voluntary agreements and said plat recordation will finalize responsibilities.
