Variance sought to keep private road at 20 feet wide for 20-acre subdivision
The applicant asks to leave the road at its current width instead of the required 26 feet, citing power poles and an easement that block widening. The planning commission recommended approval; the hearing was held Oct. 2 and the county commissioners decide.

The application's description as it appears in Elmore County's record. See the official record
The applicant, JayDee McCown, is asking Elmore County for a variance to leave SW Lone Wolf Lane, a private road off Highway 51 near Mountain Home, at its current 20-foot width instead of the 26 feet the county zoning ordinance requires. The road cannot be widened because utilities with power poles run along its north side and an easement runs along other properties to the south. The request is tied to a related subdivision (Lone Wolf) on a 20-acre parcel.
Variance to keep the width of SW Lone Wolf Ln to 20' instead of 26', which requires a variance from the Zoning Ordinance Section 10-5-4 (C)(5)
