Commission approves frontage variance for Ledan Extension subdivision despite neighbor concerns
Summary
The commission approved a variance reducing road frontage requirements from 90 to 50 feet for a two‑lot minor subdivision on Ledan Extension (10.79± acres). Neighbor Michael Allen opposed, citing concerns about future subdivision and traffic; the vote was 5-0.
The Hall County Planning Commission on Aug. 18 approved a road frontage variance allowing a 10.79± acre AR‑1 parcel on Ledan Extension to be subdivided with 50 feet of frontage per new lot rather than the standard 90 feet. Lindsey Marie Martinez presented the application; the motion to approve carried 5-0 (motion by Frank Sosebee, seconded by Shannon Davidson).
A neighbor, Michael Allen, spoke in opposition, saying he was "concerned that the applicant would further subdivide the property in the future, and was also concerned about how traffic on Ledan Extension would be affected by both properties' access to the road." Commissioners questioned the applicant about existing easements and frontage purchases; the applicant confirmed that Tract 3 uses an existing 50‑foot easement and Tract 2 will use a 50‑foot frontage recently purchased from a neighbor. Staff conditions limit the subdivision to a maximum of two single‑family residential lots and require compliance with AR‑1 standards and other development rules.
The commission approved the variance subject to the listed conditions and directed that all zoning conditions be recorded on any plats or construction plans.
