Planning commission approves special-exception permit for second home at 650 Dockery Road
Summary
The Maconbrack Planning Commission approved a special-exception permit allowing a second home (trailer) on a roughly 3-acre parcel at 650 Dockery Road for Cynthia Martin after a family member described the need for separate housing for a disabled adult daughter.
The Maconbrack Planning Commission voted to approve a special-exception permit allowing a second home on a parcel described as 650 Dockery Road (Bent Creek Road), Election District 6, after a family member spoke in support.
John Martin, who said he was speaking for Cynthia Martin, described plans to "put a used, trailer on the property" on about three acres so his youngest daughter, whom he described as "learning disabled and physical," would have separate living space. He said the property already has two wells and that the family needs the unit for caregiving needs.
A commissioner representing the district recommended approval, stating the use "would not be detrimental" and that the applicant would meet VDOT requirements and the county zoning ordinance's SEP standards. The motion was seconded, commissioners voted in favor and the chair announced the motion carried. The commissions action was to recommend approval of the SEP; no further conditions or vote tallies were stated on the record.
