Supervisors approve Johnson special exception with cemetery protections under state code

The Board of Supervisors approved a special exception allowing Barry and Nola Johnson to place a manufactured home on tax map 50‑66 after staff recommended conditions to preserve and protect a historic cemetery on the site. Planning staff noted there were no wetlands or floodplain on the parcel and that the Planning Commission had voted 6–0 to recommend approval. Neighbors and a local historian urged safeguards for the cemetery; Clarence Hawks Jr. described the site as "historical" and asked the board to protect access routes and not to build too close to graves.
