Court approves variance to split 10-acre Opel parcel into two 5-acre tracts

San Jacinto County commissioners voted unanimously to approve a variance permitting Kent and Linda Opel to split a 10-acre tract in the William R. Sanders survey (abstract 269) into two separate 5-acre parcels. The court heard confirmations from staff that both resulting parcels would have more than 450 feet of highway frontage, available power and water, and a five-foot drainage easement encircling the property.
