Ware County Commission denies Adams Street rezoning, abandons Roscoe Mixon Road; road‑name change motion fails
Summary
The commission denied a rezoning request for 2401 Adams Street, approved a request to close and abandon Roscoe Mixon Road as part of a property swap, and a motion to rename Cameron Lane to Taylor Bristow Lane failed for lack of a second after a public hearing had been held.
At its May 11 meeting the Ware County Commission took multiple land‑use actions: it voted to deny a rezoning request for 2401 Adams Street, approved closing and abandoning Roscoe Mixon Road as part of an apparent land swap, and a separate motion to rename Cameron Lane to Taylor Bristow Lane failed for lack of a second.
Commissioner (S6) moved to deny the rezoning application changing 2401 Adams Street from R‑75 (mobile home) to A‑1 (agriculture); after a second the motion to deny was approved and the chair recorded ayes. The transcript records discussion and the final disposition as denial.
On Roscoe Mixon Road, a motion to close and abandon the roadway was offered and seconded. Commissioners discussed that the action was effectively a property exchange—county accepting the former road parcel and the requester providing a replacement road alignment adjacent to an existing church parcel. After brief clarifying remarks about the property gift and the swap, the motion passed.
Separately, a motion to rename Cameron Lane to Taylor Bristow Lane was moved but failed for lack of a second. Staff (S7) reminded the commission that a public hearing on the name change had already occurred; with the motion not seconded the item remained in status quo unless reintroduced.
The commission recorded these items as formal actions in the meeting; staff were asked to reflect the decisions in follow‑up minutes and any required ordinance or deed documents.
