Commissioners grant variance for 56-acre parcel to allow one house despite frontage shortfall

Apr 14, 2026

The full story

Alberto Maras, Director of Development, told the court the applicant seeks a variance from the county's 150-foot minimum paved road-frontage requirement for parcel ID 1911053, a roughly 56.41-acre tract east of East Meadow Lane and Lazy Spring Drive in the ETJ near Red Oak. A recent survey shows the site falls about 6 feet short of Meadowlane frontage; staff recommended approval with three conditions: exclusive access from East Meadow, any other access must be approved by the precinct commissioner, and any further subdivision must meet then-current platting requirements.
