Board grants easement‑width variance allowing house to use existing 20‑ft access

The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a 10‑ft variance from the county’s 30‑ft easement‑width requirement to allow a house to be built using an existing 20‑ft easement on property at 220 Dawn Lane. Staff recommended denial, noting the ordinance’s easement‑width standard; the applicant, Joshua Bagwell, said the family intends to build a permanent home and had discussed the plan with neighbors. County Commissioner Jeremy Hobbs spoke in favor on behalf of a long‑standing local family.
