Hardin County holds public hearing on setback-variance request for Wilson and Ariola Addition in Lumberton
Summary
At a Dec. 23 special meeting, Hardin County Commissioners Court opened a public hearing on a setback-variance request by Adam Krutlin and Access Surveyors for Tracts 1–4 of the Wilson and Ariola Addition in Precinct 1, Lumberton; the record shows no public comments and no final decision was recorded.
Hardin County Commissioners Court opened a public hearing Dec. 23, 2024, to consider a setback-variance request submitted by Adam Krutlin and Access Surveyors, LLC for Tracts 1–4 of the Wilson and Ariola Addition (Francisco Ariola Survey, Abstract No. 2) in Precinct 1, Lumberton.
The court packet includes a scanned minor-plat/survey for the Wilson and Ariola Addition. The agenda and minutes show the hearing was held as noticed but record the entry "NO PUBLIC COMMENTS." The transcript and meeting minutes do not record a vote or decision on the variance request.
Why it matters: setback variances alter where structures can be placed on a lot and can affect lot development and neighboring property lines; county consideration of a variance is a required procedural step before any administrative approval or permit is issued.
Hardin County Judge Wayne McDaniel presided over the special meeting with Commissioners L.W. "Nubbin" Cooper Jr., Chris Kirkendall, Amanda Young and Ernie Koch present. The hearing file contains the survey and plat sheets submitted for the Wilson and Ariola Addition; no members of the public addressed the court on the request.
There is no further action documented in the meeting record concerning this variance request. The court recorded a later motion and an "ACTION: APPROVED" before adjourning, but the minutes and transcript do not specify whether that approval applied to the variance, the agenda, or another procedural item. The record therefore does not show a final county determination on the Tracts 1–4 setback request.
The court adjourned after the recorded motion. Any subsequent administrative or formal decision on the variance would be expected to appear in later minutes or county records.
