Variance Request for Undersized Residential Lot on Richardson Road
Union County
Summary
Augustine Properties requested a variance to build a single-family home on a half-acre lot that was previously split without going through formal subdivision approval. Neighbors and board members raised concerns that granting the variance would violate lot size rules and set a precedent for higher density or future subdivision of surrounding farmland.
