Appeal filed over manufactured home placement; appellant cites easement and traffic concerns

Arthur Stephen Huckabee, an adjoining property owner at 15260 Cemetery Road, addressed the Harrison County Board to oppose a planning commission approval that would allow a manufactured home on an adjacent parcel. Huckabee said the primary issue is increased traffic over his shared driveway easement and that the approval would intensify use of the access he shares with other residents.

Huckabee described the driveway as a shared easement among himself and two other residents and said the planned additional residence would increase traffic on that easement. "I was just voicing my protest against this decision because this is going to have more traffic over Eastman part of the Eastman to get to this property as owned by me," Huckabee said during his allotted time.

Board rules for the appeal were read — each side was allowed up to 30 minutes divided among three speakers, with a five-minute rebuttal for the appellant. After hearing Huckabee, a board member stated they would "make a motion to deny the appeal," and the motion was seconded. The transcript excerpt provided does not include an explicit roll‑call or recorded 'Aye' that unambiguously confirms the final tally in the excerpt.

Board members also noted the procedural record from the planning commission will be considered as part of the appeal. The matter was discussed in open session and, according to the transcript excerpt, the board moved forward with a motion to deny the appeal; the official minute book should be consulted for the certified vote.
