Summary

The board approved a variance/rezone request introduced for James Blesse to allow an additional principal structure so a family member can provide closer care for elderly parents, following the applicant's public comment.

The board approved a variance/rezoning request introduced on the agenda for James Blesse (1410 South Yall Mill Road, Takoa, Parcel 60084). Staff said the property was currently zoned agricultural residential and the requested action would grant a variance to allow an additional principal structure on site; the Planning Commission recommended approval.

A public speaker who identified himself as "I'm, Stephen Pleas" told the board the rezoning was requested so he could move closer to his parents and assist them with appointments because of their health. The board moved and seconded approval and the motion carried by voice vote.

The decision follows the Planning Commission's recommendation and was recorded as a carried motion in the meeting minutes.
