Franklin County Commission approves consent agenda, multiple rezoning requests and year-end transfers
Summary
The Franklin County Commission approved the consent agenda, three rezoning applications, a special-use permit for a 195-foot communications tower, acceptance of related final-plat dedications and a year-end transfers resolution contingent on fund availability.
The Franklin County Commission voted to approve the consent agenda and a series of land-use and financial items during its December meeting. Commissioners recorded affirmative roll-call votes on the consent agenda, three rezoning applications, acceptance of dedications for a final plat and a resolution approving year-end transfers contingent on year-end fund availability.
Planning staff presented five land-use items. The commission approved rezoning application 2510-0061 (Rodina) to rezone about 40 acres from A1 (Agricultural) to A2 (Transitional Agriculture) after the planning commission’s unanimous recommendation. The panel also approved application 2510-0059 (Brian) and application 2510-0056 (B Squared), the latter to rezone just under 20 acres from A1 to RE; planning staff told commissioners the planning commission had recommended approval of each by unanimous vote.
The commission also approved special-use permit application 2510-0010 for Diamond Communications LLC to construct and operate a 195-foot self-supporting communications tower in an I-2 (heavy industrial) district; staff said the site is on the north edge of town, away from most residences. Commissioners then accepted dedications on the final plat related to the Brian rezoning.
On finance, staff presented a resolution to carry out year-end transfers, noting transfers are contingent on funds being available on the last day of the year. Staff said road and bridge transfers are larger than in prior years and emphasized maintaining reserve balances; commissioners approved the resolution by roll-call vote.
