Commissioners approve variance for Weekly Branch Road Phase 2 after legal consultation
Summary
Following a closed‑session legal consultation, the court approved a variance to minimum paved public road‑frontage requirements for parcel ID 181743 (Weekly Branch Road Phase 2) subject to seven staff conditions and a road‑use agreement.
The court approved a variance allowing development on a ~34.726‑acre parcel (parcel ID 181743) north of FM 66 and Weekly Branch Road that would enable the developer to create 10 lots despite the road’s current non‑paved status. Director of Development Alberto Omares explained the request and said staff recommended approval subject to seven conditions, including approval of a related road‑use agreement.
Commissioner Ponder moved to approve item 1.1 after the court consulted legal counsel in executive session; the motion passed unanimously with conditions. The approval is contingent on the listed conditions, including that the road‑use agreement be in place before final development approvals.
Alberto Omares said this request mirrors an earlier variance the court granted for a 22‑acre area earlier in the year and tied 1.1 to item 3.2 (the road agreement) for consistency. The court did not change the number of lots proposed but required the developer to satisfy the seven staff conditions set out in the staff report.
