Board approves FLUM amendment, rezoning and variances for 367 Chandler Road after septic and frontage discussion
Summary
After discussing septic constraints and road-frontage and lot-width variances, the board approved a future land use map amendment, rezoning to R-1, and related variances for 367 Chandler Road (applicants Kayler Vega and Anna Pichardo).
The Barrow County commissioners approved a future land use map amendment and rezoning for roughly 3.02 acres at 367 Chandler Road, and they also approved variance requests tied to lot width and minimum road frontage after staff outlined how septic repair areas and existing road-width measurements affect buildability.
Residents Anna Pichardo and Kayla Vega Jr. spoke in support of subdividing the parcel so the family could sell the back acreage for retirement. "We were just trying to understand anything else that we were trying to or needing to do to move forward with this," Anna Pichardo told the board. Planning staff explained that without the road-frontage or width variances the rear parcel could be unbuildable or substandard because septic repair areas and frontage requirements would not be met.
Commissioners noted this situation has arisen in recent comparable cases and discussed adding conditions to ensure consistency with nearby subdivisions; the board voted to approve the FLUM amendment, the rezoning to R-1, and the requested variances, and asked staff to follow up on recorded platting and any site-plan adjustments needed to reflect the approved configuration.
