Commission unanimously approves special-exception for Wilson RV Park to add nine sites
Summary
Henry Wilson received unanimous Planning Commission approval to add nine RV sites to an existing park (County Tax Number 197000-A-017). The permit includes extensive conditions covering erosion control, bonding, screening, road construction standards, site sizing, prohibition on permanent leasing, and operational requirements including liability insurance and emergency contacts.
The Mecklenburg County Planning Commission unanimously approved a special-exception permit on May 21 to allow Henry Wilson to add nine RV sites to an existing RV park on County Tax Number 197000-A-017, located on the east side of Route 4 (Buggs Island Road) about 900 feet south of Tanner Drive in Election District 6.
Wilson told the commission he had been approved in 2023 for a special exemption for an RV park and said "the need for RV sites is still on the rise in the county." He told commissioners he would install a new well and septic system to serve the additional sites. The Zoning Office reported no calls, letters or emails on the application.
The commission attached extensive conditions to the permit. Requirements include submission and approval of an erosion and sediment control plan and a bond for infrastructure prior to construction; screening with a privacy fence for areas visible to the public; prohibition on accessory structures on individual sites; compliance with VDOT Access Management Design Standard Regulations; a requirement that no site be sold or leased as a permanent site; annual submission of rental records with lot numbers to the Zoning Administrator; visible permanent site numbering; minimum site dimensions (25 feet wide and 2,000 square feet); and road construction standards (minimum 30-foot width, minimum 50-foot cul-de-sac radius, specified gravel base and surfacing) with staged inspections by the Zoning Administrator.
Operational and safety conditions include posting park rules and enforcing quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM, prohibition of generators except during power outages, commercial garbage disposal at the Southside Regional Landfill, posting owner/designee contact information at the entrance and providing it to Mecklenburg County 911 Dispatch, delivery of a site map to sheriff and fire/rescue agencies, required liability insurance certification prior to operation, and a condition that the permit becomes null and void if the park ceases operation for more than one year. The minutes also state that "9 campsites will be built upon approval by the Board of Supervisors; the remaining 9 will be constructed no later than the 5th anniversary of the approval." The permit is non-transferable except with written notice and Board approval.
Mark Warren moved to approve the special exception; Randy Crocker seconded. All present commissioners voted "aye." The item will proceed subject to the stated conditions and any required County inspections or Board-level approvals.
