Developer seeks rezoning on Green Street for four to five single-family lots; town to send supportive letter

Representatives of Primavera & Associates presented a rezoning request for 14025 Green Street, asking the town to acknowledge support for changing the parcel from R1 to R3 with a single-family overlay. The developer said the plan envisions four lots under current dimensions, with a fifth possible if a variance is granted; homes would be narrower (minimum width referenced as 33 feet in discussion) with rear access from an existing gravel alley and no new driveways on State Road 135 (Green Street).

JC Copperway of Primavera explained that the single-family overlay would limit the R3 zone to single-family homes and not allow multifamily buildings the county’s R3 designation would otherwise permit. Board members asked about stormwater, alley width and historic flooding; staff and a board member said lots had not historically flooded and noted the alley is gravel and roughly 8–10 feet wide in places. The board voted to provide a letter to the county commissioners indicating preliminary support and to have the applicant return with any county-required materials; the county planning commission hearing was scheduled for the first Thursday in February.

The board’s letter is to be delivered to county staff before the zoning hearing; final approval will return to the town after the county’s recommendation, per the board’s process.
