Planning panel to hear hardship variance for private drive
The Franklin County Planning Commission will hold a special meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday at the county annex. Zoning administrator J.B. Hall seeks a one time variance for Robert Boyke to build a private drive across his father-in-law’s property to access a three acre tract with no road access. The easement fails under subdivision rules, but hardship consideration is made since Boyke cannot move his mobile home to the new lot. The easement’s lease from a relative reduces likelihood of revocation.
