BZA approves removal of acreage from classified forest to allow home construction
Summary
The board approved Luis Flores’ variance to remove about 7.75 acres from classified forest to build a house on a parcel east of 4303 East Shaw Road; no remonstrators spoke and the motion to approve passed at the hearing.
The Leaport County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a petition from Luis Flores to remove approximately 7.75 acres from classified forest to construct a home on a parcel east of 4303 East Shaw Road in Prairie Ki Township.
Board members asked clarifying questions about classification thresholds and whether removal of acreage would affect the parcel’s farm/forest designation. The petitioner provided limited additional testimony and no remonstrators spoke against the request. The board moved to approve the petition and the motion carried.
The approval allows the petitioner to pursue building permits consistent with board conditions and standard building‑department review.
