DeSoto County

The Board of Adjustment meeting included discussions and decisions on several variance and conditional use applications. Variances were requested for accessory buildings in designated front and side yards, as well as for fences taller than 3 ft. in front yards of corner lots. One variance application for a front building setback was denied. Conditional use applications were reviewed for a mobile home under hardship conditions and for the expansion of an approved gravel mine.

The Desoto County Planning Commission meeting included discussions and actions on several applications. A rezoning application for Legends Lakeside Retreat was withdrawn by the applicant. The commission approved the Bright Two Lot Minor 6th Revision to Lot 2 application and the Cermeno 4 Lot Minor Lot 1st Revision to Lot 3 application, both with waivers for the number of lots on an easement. The St. Theresa Minor Lot application was discussed, focusing on concerns about emergency vehicle access and turnaround size, but ultimately failed to pass.

The Desoto County Board of Adjustment meeting included discussions and decisions on several variance applications. The board addressed an application by Terrica Seals for a variance to allow a front building setback less than 50 ft, which was ultimately denied due to concerns about road safety and potential future road widening. Another application by Jason Warren, seeking a variance to allow an accessory building in the designated front yard of a corner lot, was approved despite concerns from neighbors regarding commercial use, size, property value, and aesthetics. Lastly, the board approved the application by Chester Striplin for a variance to allow an accessory building larger than 50% of the square footage of the primary structure, intended to replace buildings damaged by a tornado.

The agenda includes applications for variances related to building setbacks, fence heights, and accessory buildings. Additionally, there is an application for a conditional use permit to allow a sewage treatment facility. Discussions covered topics such as property setbacks, fence regulations, and the specifics of the proposed sewage treatment facility, including its capacity, treatment process, and potential environmental and traffic impacts.

The Board of Adjustment meeting included discussions and decisions on several applications. A variance was approved for Justin Lore to allow an accessory building in the designated side yard. Another variance was approved for Troy Douglas to allow a fence taller than 3' in the designated front yard of a double frontage lot. The board also considered Candice Nicholson's applications for a variance and a conditional use related to a mobile home, ultimately approving both. The conditional use allows a second mobile home under hardship conditions for Mr. Todd's use only, until his death or leaving the property, with a period for removal afterward.
