Summary

The board approved an exception to Subdivision Regulations 3‑106.4 for an agricultural split requested by Mr. Tefft; the record shows a neighboring owner, Mr. Larkin, was personally served but declined participation, leaving his tract noncompliant unless he plats it in the future.

Community Development Director Stephan Metzger asked the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners to revisit an agricultural‑split exception filed by Mr. Tefft and previously discussed Dec. 8, 2025.

Metzger said Assistant County Counselor Jonathan Ehrlich recommended serving notice personally to a small parcel owner, Mr. Larkin, who had not been reachable previously; the minutes state Mr. Larkin was served but was not interested in participating. Metzger explained that if the exception is approved, Mr. Larkin’s tract would remain noncompliant and would need to be platted to achieve compliance.

Commissioner Richard Malm moved to approve the exception to Subdivision Regulations 3‑106.4, Commissioner Doug Walbridge seconded, and the board voted in favor. Metzger reminded the board that a special Land Bank meeting is scheduled for March 9, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. at the courthouse.
