Putnam County rezoning hearing for 22.5 acres continued after public-notice complaint
Summary
The board continued REZ 26-000004 (Julian C. Wood Revocable Living Trust) to July 14 after a resident told commissioners notice signs were repeatedly mowed down and not replaced; staff was directed to re-post signs before the next hearing.
The Putnam County Board of County Commissioners voted to continue the public hearing on REZ 26-000004 to the July 14, 2026 meeting after a member of the public said notice signs for the rezoning were removed and not replaced, raising concern that neighbors had not been properly notified.
Planning staff member Michael Graves outlined the request: the Julian C. Wood Revocable Living Trust seeks to rezone about 22.5 acres from Planned Unit Development to Residential Estate to allow single-family residences at parcels including 229 East River Road and 131 Oak Haven Lane. Staff recommended approval, noting wetlands identified on GIS and that the subject parcels lie within FEMA Flood Zones X, X500 and AE. The county’s planning commission had unanimously recommended approval on May 13, 2026.
During public comment, Stuart Lloyd of 121 Magnolia Drive told the board that signs posted in early May were mowed down around May 15 and not replaced, limiting public notice. The board asked staff to re-post signs and continued the case so the hearing can be re-advertised and heard with clear notice to neighbors.
The case is scheduled to return to the board on July 14, 2026 at 9:00 a.m.
