Summary

The court unanimously approved a variance to minimum public road‑frontage for a ~1.3‑acre tract near Honeysuckle Trail to allow subdivision into five lots; staff recommended approval subject to three conditions.

Alberto Omares, Director of Development, presented a variance request for parcel IDs 180419 and part of 180418 near Honeysuckle Trail that would allow the owner to subdivide a ~1.3‑acre tract into five lots despite limited road frontage (about 19 feet for one lot). The staff recommended approval subject to three conditions listed in the staff report.

Commissioner Butler moved to approve item 1.2, Commissioner Ponder seconded, and the court approved the variance unanimously. Omares noted the parcel already contains a cell tower and that the requested variance reflects a longstanding local pattern in the neighborhood.

The court recorded no public opposition during the hearing and treated the variance as routine given the local context and staff recommendation. The developer will have to satisfy the three staff conditions before final platting.
