Commission approves rezoning to create second buildable lot at Highway 53 West
Summary
The commission approved RZ191064 to rezone an 8.6‑acre tract at 11025 Highway 53 West from AG to RR, allowing the owners to split the parcel into two buildable lots after a boundary survey corrected tax‑record acreage inconsistencies.
Pickens County commissioners voted to rezone an approximately 8.6‑acre tract at 11025 Highway 53 West (RZ191064) from agricultural (AG) to rural residential (RR) to permit subdivision into a second buildable lot.
Staff said tax records incorrectly listed the parcel as 3.6 acres, but a boundary survey attached to the application confirmed the tract measures 8.6 acres and that a minimum AG lot size of 10 acres prevented subdivision under the current designation. Staff recommended rezoning to RR to satisfy the minimum lot size requirement for creating an additional single‑family dwelling.
Kurt Jones, speaking for applicants Hannah and Craig Jones (on behalf of Scott Hunt), said neighbors were informed and that the split would allow family members to have a lot and update parcel records. A motion to approve the staff recommendation was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
