ZBA allows three‑lot family subdivision on McCoy Road to share existing driveway
Summary
The board approved case 2604014V permitting three family lots on McCoy Road to share an existing 20‑foot gravel access easement rather than building additional driveways or a county‑standard road; the applicants described the plan as a family compound and the motion passed 4‑0.
Thomas presented case 2604014V seeking variances to allow three tracts on McCoy Road to share an existing 20‑foot gravel access easement rather than build separate 50‑foot frontage or a 60‑foot county standard easement. Staff said building separate driveways or installing a 60‑foot road could increase disturbance and stormwater runoff.
Andrew Hunt, representing the family applicants, said the tract is intended to remain a family compound and that the shared driveway makes sense to avoid additional disturbance. He described the parcel layout and said Tract C already contains a house and the existing gravel driveway is serviceable.
No members of the public signed up in opposition or support beyond the applicant. After brief discussion, a motion to approve the variance was moved, seconded and approved by the board 4‑0.
The variance permits the three family lots to rely on the recorded 20‑foot access easement as presented; any further development will be subject to county permitting and review.
