Summary

The commission approved a modification allowing two contiguous flag lots on Maple Branch Road so a life-estate property can be divided between family members; staff found the special conditions and size justify the exception and required the lots remain single-family in use.

Planning staff recommended approval of a modification to permit two contiguous flag lots on Maple Branch Road for the Connolly property, concluding the application met Article 22 criteria because limited frontage and parcel shape create practical difficulties.

The applicant representative said the division is a family land transfer under a life estate and that the lots are large (about 11 acres each) and will remain single-family. Staff confirmed all other development requirements can be met and recommended approval.

A commissioner moved to approve and the commission voted in favor by voice.
