Votes at a glance: Wythe County Planning Commission, April 6, 2026
Summary
The planning commission approved two subdivision variances (Hager, Brockman), tabled one subdivision request (Staley/Brogden) pending deed/right‑of‑way research, rejected a proposed five‑acre split in an Agricultural and Forestal District, and approved meeting minutes.
The Wythe County Planning Commission recorded the following formal actions on April 6, 2026:
- Hager variance (Agenda item 3A): Motion to accept the Hager subdivision as presented; second recorded; roll‑call produced unanimous 'yays' and the variance was approved. (Staff reported the Hagers requested a variance to §5.3.18 to allow a 42.868‑acre division without 100‑ft state frontage.)
- Staley/Brogden subdivision (Agenda item 3B): The commission moved to table the application pending clarification of recorded deeds and right‑of‑way evidence for Indian Meadow Lane; motion seconded and passed on roll call. Applicants had requested variances to §§5.3.18 and 7.3.15. No variance was granted at this meeting.
- Brockman variance (Agenda item 3C): Motion to approve the Brockman waiver of the 100‑ft state road frontage requirement for the proposed two‑lot revision; motion, second and roll call vote carried and the variance was approved.
- McNamera Ag/Forestal split (New Business): Motion to reject the request to split five acres from a parcel in the Agricultural and Forestal District. Commissioners cited district restrictions and public comments that portions of the tract may contain unmarked burial sites; the motion to reject carried and Rusty was recorded as voting against rejection.
- Minutes: Prior meeting minutes were moved, seconded and approved as presented.
These votes reflect the commission’s current decisions; where items were tabled staff was directed to research deed/right‑of‑way records or applicants were advised on next procedural steps (e.g., reapply at district renewal).
