Planning commission approves family transfer plat for Barnes Road property
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a family transfer subdivision (FTR 2025-005) to create a roughly 1-acre parcel at 1293 Barnes Road for a family grantee; staff said the deed-of-gift prevents resale for 10 years and the parcel meets zoning and setback standards.
The Suffolk Planning Commission on May 21 approved Family Transfer Subdivision Plat FTR 2025-005, allowing Kenneth and Joelle Dickinson to subdivide about one acre from their 17-acre property at 1293 Barnes Road for their daughter, Taylor Dickinson.
Staff planner Isabella Reynolds told commissioners the parcel meets the Unified Development Ordinance requirements and the 2045 Comprehensive Plan designation of rural agricultural land. Reynolds said the application included a deed of gift that bars resale of the grantee parcel for 10 years and a sworn affidavit stating the purpose is to provide separate residences for family members. She recommended approval, and the commission voted 7-0 to adopt the resolution approving the family subdivision. No public comment was offered during the hearing.
Mr. Wynn, serving as meeting staff, recorded the unanimous vote. City staff noted no City Council action is required for this family-transfer approval.
The commission’s action creates the new parcel consistent with zoning setbacks and stormwater and septic considerations documented in the staff report.
