Zoning director explains variance to allow parcel split; supervisors approve VAR-6037

Marshall County zoning director Tyler Kelly presented a variance request (Ordinance 2026 VAR-6037) after a board-of-adjustment recommendation. The applicant proposed parceling about 20.38 acres from a 22.28 (described also as 22.85) acre tract to provide access for a neighboring landowner; county rules require 25 acres for some permitted A-1 uses, so the owner sought a variance.

Kelly said the parcel to the west will be auctioned soon and the variance was recommended by the board of adjustment to ensure access for the southern landowner. A supervisor moved to approve Zoning Ordinance 2026 VAR-6037 and authorize the chair to sign; the board approved the motion on roll call. The approval permits the parcel split under the variance conditions described at the meeting.
