Summary
The Tazewell County Planning Commission on March 13 approved the proposed 10‑lot Mimi Acres mobile home park in Springville, contingent on required VDOT permits; the county PSA has confirmed water and sewer service. The approval passed 5–0 with two members absent.
The Tazewell County Planning Commission approved a proposal to develop Mimi Acres, a 10‑space mobile home park adjacent to the Shell station on U.S. 19/460 in Springville, contingent on required Virginia Department of Transportation permits.
Jon Looney, a land surveyor representing property owner Mike Davison, told the commission the plan calls for demolishing existing structures and creating 10 mobile home spaces. Looney said the Tazewell County Public Service Authority had sent a letter to county engineering confirming it can provide water and sewer service. He said VDOT is still evaluating whether a turn lane will be required.
Kenneth Dunford, Tazewell County director of engineering, told the commission the project meets county requirements and recommended approval pending VDOT’s permit decision. Vice‑Chairman Jason Herndon moved to approve the plan, Member Anthony Ramella seconded, and the motion carried 5–0 with Members Kyle Cruey and Ann Robinson absent.
The commission recorded the approval as contingent on receipt of any required VDOT permits; the developer will not be authorized to proceed until VDOT completes its review and any required permits are issued. The county’s engineering office will continue to coordinate with the applicant and VDOT on access and site improvements.
