3-lot subdivision on 5 acres recommended for approval by county commission
The plan would rezone the land from rural transition to estate residential and split it into three lots of roughly 1.6 acres each, extending a private road. The Planning and Zoning Commission held its hearing Oct. 15 and recommended approval; the lots would use septic systems and a shared well.
