Builder given 15‑foot front‑setback variance for new house in Persimmon Orchard
Summary
A 15‑foot front‑setback variance for a new house on Persimmon Orchard Drive (Lot 2) was approved after the builder described lot slopes and similar permissions in the subdivision.
The Jefferson County Board approved a 15‑foot front‑setback variance for a new house in Dandridge Landing’s Persimmon Orchard subdivision.
The builder explained that the lot’s topography required splitting the house footprint and that “there’s multiple houses in [the] subdivision that already have the variance,” making the request consistent with neighboring approvals. Commissioner Dixon (S10) moved to approve the variance; a second was recorded and the motion carried by voice vote.
No public opposition was recorded in the meeting transcript. The board did not note additional conditions beyond standard permitting requirements.
