Summary

An applicant seeking rezoning for a church said sewer connectivity is limited at the site and that contractor activity damaged corner magnolia trees; the public and staff discussed preservation and access, and the hearing was closed for later decision.

Staff presented ZMA752, a request to rezone 2.66 acres from neighborhood business to general business. The applicant (identified in staff comments as Timothy Guise White) and a community representative explained their intention is to place a church on the site in the southeast corner of the county. The community speaker asked the board to preserve magnolia trees at the corner and described work with public works to secure easement and sewer access; they said the trees were damaged by a contractor working on a sewer line and that county staff performed some repair work.

The speaker noted the property currently lacks sewer and that connecting would expand future development options; they also described intended community uses such as a pavilion to host gatherings. No final decision was made and the public hearing was closed for later action.
