Brownsville council approves septic holding tank for Sarah Libbon parcel
Summary
After a public hearing, the Brownsville City Council approved a conditional use permit for a septic holding tank to serve a proposed cabin on property owned by Sarah Libbon, with the condition that the existing house and structures be removed after the new cabin is completed.
Brownsville — After a special public hearing on June 3, 2026, the Brownsville City Council approved a conditional use permit to install a septic holding tank on property owned by Sarah Libbon (Parcel Number 200260000).
Mayor Jean Meyer opened the hearing at 7:00 p.m. and reported that she and Councilmember Pam Walhovd conducted a site inspection and confirmed that setback requirements were met. The transcript notes that Houston County has given consent for the installation.
Councilmember Barb Hurley moved to approve the installation with clarity that the existing house and other structures on the parcel will be removed following completion of the new cabin; the motion was seconded by Councilmember David Prestby and the motion passed. The public hearing closed at 7:05 p.m.
Why it matters: the permit clears a regulatory step for the property owner to replace an existing dwelling with a new cabin served by an off‑lot holding tank. The council recorded that Houston County consent had been obtained and that local setback requirements were satisfied. The council did not record individual roll‑call votes in the minutes; only that the motion passed.
What’s next: the council’s approval includes the stated condition that the existing house and other structures be removed after the new cabin is completed; no further dates or enforcement steps were recorded in the minutes.
