Tazewell County commission approves two subdivisions with variances
Summary
The Tazewell County Planning Commission on Feb. 9 approved two minor subdivisions — one splitting 1.839 acres and a 0.4-acre gift parcel — granting variances because the lots do not front state-maintained roads; both approvals carried 7-0 and required $106 fees.
The Tazewell County Planning Commission approved two minor subdivisions during its Feb. 9 meeting, granting variances from the county Sub‑Division Ordinance because the new lots will not front state-maintained roads.
Surveyor Jim Ribble presented a three-parcel subdivision for Coal Mountain Mining Company and Doran Development Corporation that will divide 1.839 acres from an existing parcel. County Engineering Director Kenneth Dunford Jr. recommended approval with a variance because the lot will not abut a state-maintained highway; County Attorney Chase Collins supported a variance from Sub‑Division Ordinance 4-5-2. Member Darrell Addison moved to approve, Member Jason Herndon seconded, and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The $106 subdivision fee was recorded with check 4450.
Later in the meeting, Tucker Beck of Clayton Homes presented a request to separate and gift a 0.4-acre tract from Parcel 15B, Tax Map 126 (Harbor Street). Dunford questioned whether Harbor Street is a state-maintained road and recommended the same variance; Collins again recommended approval with a variance. The commission approved the Harbor Street subdivision by a 7-0 vote, with the $106 fee noted as paid on 2/10/2023.
Both approvals cite the same variance from Sub‑Division Ordinance 4-5-2, which requires lots to abut a dedicated or publicly maintained street. The minutes record motions in each case by Member Darrell Addison, seconded by Member Jason Herndon, with unanimous approval. No amendments or conditions beyond payment of the standard fee were recorded.
The approvals will be transmitted to county records as the applicants complete the required filings. The commission's next regular meeting is scheduled for March 9, 2023.
