The Bohns are asking Ada County for a variance to a minimum property size rule for their roughly 9.33-acre parcel at 855 S. Locust Grove Road near Kuna. The variance would allow a later plan to rezone the land and split it into two lots of about 5.0 and 4.38 acres, with a private road for the second lot. Staff recommends denial, and the hearing body's decision is not recorded in this document.
