Board approves family subdivision variance for 60‑acre Presley tract
Summary
The appeals board granted a variance allowing Tina Presley to subdivide a 60‑acre parcel behind 1494 Highway 49 into family parcels without public road frontage; the applicant said the split aligns conservation-easement timing and she has a survey in progress.
Tina Presley told the Jones County Board of Appeals and Adjustments she seeks a variance to divide a 60‑acre parcel behind 1494 Highway 49 into smaller family parcels without public road frontage so the property can be deeded to family members under separate conservation-easement timelines.
"We have 60 acres. It is my daddy's and he is splitting up between my sister and I… it will go from 60 acres to 2 or 30 acre parcels," Presley said while explaining the family transfer plan and that a survey is in process. Her sister, Sharon Barn, said the subdivision would deed the parcel to both sisters and voiced support for the application.
Board members asked whether the land is subject to a conservation easement and staff confirmed that it is; Presley said the variance is needed because the parcels are on staggered conservation schedules and cannot be combined without the variance. The applicant said a surveyor is completing the legal description and that real‑estate counsel will handle the deeds.
A member moved to approve the subdivision variance; the motion was seconded and the board approved the request. The board recorded the approval on the hearing record; no roll-call tally was read aloud in the transcript.
The board did not attach additional conditions during the hearing.
