Clarion Homes rezoning for Horseshoe Road fails after residents raise infrastructure concerns
Summary
The commission declined to approve Clarion Homes' rezoning request for a 31‑lot development on Horseshoe Road after residents raised flooding, narrow‑road safety and infrastructure capacity concerns; applicant offered $80,000–$100,000 in road improvements, but the motion failed 10–12.
A proposed rezoning to allow a 31‑lot Clarion Homes development on Horseshoe Road failed after extended public comment and commissioner debate. Several neighbors told the commission Horseshoe Road "is 18 feet wide" and "you cannot fit 2 cars," and described recurring flooding on nearby Lewton Way; Abigail Frost told the panel the area lacks necessary infrastructure and warned a favorable rezoning could lead to additional large developments.
Clarion Homes co‑owner Rachel Teal said the developer had performed soil testing that showed suitability for septic, was verifying water availability with White House Utility District, and proposed to widen Horseshoe Road for about 750 feet and install a deceleration/right‑turn lane. Teal estimated those infrastructure improvements would cost between $80,000 and $100,000. After commissioners debated whether the proposal should be required to go back to zoning for conditions and considered how the new traffic-assessment rule applies, the motion to approve the rezoning failed (10 for, 12 against).
