Patricia Fluck, petitioner for the estate of Richard Fluck, asked Lee County officials to return a platted but undeveloped subdivision parcel from residential zoning (R2) to agricultural zoning so it can be farmed.

During the hearing on case 25P1657, the hearing officer moved ‘‘exhibits 1 through 15 into evidence’’ and, hearing no objection, admitted them into the record. The exhibits—listed by the zoning administrator—include the map-amendment petition filed 11/07/2025, notices to the Dixon Telegraph and adjacent property owners (mailed 12/12/2025), posting photos (12/15/2025), a City of Dixon response (Exhibit 13), the Lee County comprehensive-plan future land-use map (Exhibit 14), and the county’s map-amendment due-process standards (Exhibit 15).

Fluck testified that the property had been rezoned previously from Ag1 to R2 to allow a subdivision and that phase 1 of the subdivision has been developed but phase 2 has not: ‘‘No. It was just platted.’’ She told the panel she had not installed roads or sewer for phase 2 and said, ‘‘There’s no way I could do a subdivision now, you know, especially with the economy and stuff,’’ explaining why she seeks to restore agricultural zoning. Fluck said the land around the parcel is presently farmed and noted there is a separate petition for a solar farm adjacent to the property.

Zoning staff told the petitioner they will produce a written report and recommendation: ‘‘Mister Grama is gonna create a report with his findings and recommendation to the county board,’’ the zoning administrator said, and she added she would provide Fluck a copy when it is ready. The transcript contains inconsistent scheduling references: the zoning hearing was at one point identified as January 28 at 5 p.m., the zoning administrator later referenced January 13 at 9 a.m., and the administrator also stated the county board ‘‘will hear this on believe it’s January 22 at 6PM.’’ The administrator told the petitioner she is not required to attend the county-board review and that petitioners are ‘‘not afforded an opportunity to address the board before the vote.’’

The hearing record shows the petitioner filed the petition and provided supporting documentation and notice steps; staff will prepare the official findings and recommendation for the Lee County Board. The county board’s final action and any conditions attached to a decision will be reflected in the county board record when it takes up the matter.
