Commission denies rezoning at 2401 Adams Street, approves Roscoe Mixon Road closure; Cameron Lane renaming fails
Summary
The board denied a rezoning request for 2401 Adams Street, approved the closure and return of Roscoe Mixon Road to a donating church, and a motion to rename Cameron Lane to Taylor Bristow Lane died for lack of a second.
The Ware County Board of Commissioners on May 11 denied a rezoning request for 2401 Adams Street, approved a road closure tied to a land swap and failed to approve a street‑renaming proposal.
An initial motion by Commissioner Jon Tindall to rezone 2401 Adams Street from R‑75 MH to A‑1 died for lack of a second. Commissioner Leonard Burse then moved to deny the rezoning request; Commissioner Barry Cox seconded and the denial passed by roll‑call vote.
Separately, Commissioner Leonard Burse moved to close and abandon Roscoe Mixon Road as part of a land swap: the county accepted donated land from a church to construct a new road, and the board approved deeding the old road back to the church after construction was complete. Commissioner Barry Cox seconded and the motion passed.
Commissioner Jon Tindall moved to rename Cameron Lane to Taylor Bristow Lane; the motion received no second and therefore died without a vote.
The decisions on the rezoning and road closure were taken by roll‑call votes recorded in the minutes; the renaming request failed at the motion stage for lack of a second. The board did not record further public comment or conditions on the denial in the minutes.
