REQUEST FROM A LAW FIRM REPRESENTING THE SHINNVILLE ROAD LLC
(OWNERIDEVELOPER) OF THE PROPOSED GABRIEL ESTATES SUBDIVISION) FOR
RELEASE OF ZONING JURISDICTION: William Allison, the planning supervisor, said the
owners were requesting the zoning jurisdiction release of a 1.58 -acre tract along Shinnville Road.
He said this would allow four additional lots to be built at the entrance of a subdivision. The 1.58
tract would be added to 43 acres for a 117 -lot development. Allison explained that if built under the
county's zoning, the four additional lots would be reduced down to three. He added that more
continuity (lots would line up better) would occur at the entrance, if the request were approved.
MOTION by Commissioner Bowles to grant the zoning release of the 1.58 -acre tract as
requested by the law firm representing the owners/developers of the Gabriel Estates Subdivision.

REQUEST FROM THE DOT FOR APPROVAL OF A PETITION FOR THE
ABANDONMENT OF A SECTION OF SR 1549 (RAILROAD CROSSING) FROM THE
STATE MAINTAINED SYSTEM: The planning supervisor advised that Jim Rand, the district
engineer for the State Department of Transportation, had submitted this request. It is for the
withdrawal of state maintenance of a 105.6 linear foot section on SR 1549/Stevenson Farm Road.
During the agenda briefing, Commissioner Johnson asked what opposition had been voiced
about the request. Allison said he had not heard of any opposition. The county manager advised that
due to the close proximity to the county garage, that several months ago a letter had been sent to the
DOT advising of county opposition.
