Hallsville council approves March consent agenda, grants setback variance and rezones two Main Street properties
Summary
At its April 15 meeting the Hallsville City Council unanimously approved the March consent agenda, granted a variance to reduce a 10-foot setback to 5 feet for 112 Secret Passage to allow a storage building, and rezoned 105 and 115 West Main Street from Institutional to General Business effective June 1, 2025.
Mayor Jesse Casey called the Hallsville City Council to order at 6:00 p.m. on April 15, 2025, and the council promptly approved routine business and three motions affecting land use on West Main Street.
The council approved the March 2025 consent agenda, which included the City Administrator’s report for March 2025, the Police Department summary and Fire Marshal report for March 2025, the Water Department summary for March 2025, the March permit report, and the monthly financials. Alderman Brant Cain moved to approve the consent agenda; Alderman Guy Walker seconded. The motion carried unanimously. The minutes note brief discussion of several items in the City Administrator’s monthly report but do not record separate votes by individual members.
On land-use matters the council granted a setback variance allowing the homeowner at 112 Secret Passage to build a storage building with a 5-foot setback on the southern property line, reduced from the adopted 10-foot requirement. Alderman Charlie Hunt moved to grant the variance; Alderman Brant Cain seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
The council also voted to rezone 105 West Main Street and 115 West Main Street from “Institutional" to “General Business.” Alderman Guy Walker moved for the zoning change; Alderwoman Lauren Bresch seconded. The council specified that the zoning change will become effective June 1, 2025. The motion carried unanimously.
All three motions are recorded in the minutes as carrying unanimously; the minutes list council members present but do not include roll-call records showing individual votes. The meeting adjourned at 6:14 p.m.; Mayor Casey announced the State of the City would be held May 1, 2025.
