Resolution / Repeal of Resolution 2023-01 for a Variance (VAR-0002-2023) granted to Craig's RV Park Inc.
body
REQUESTED MOTION:
A motion to approve the repeal of Resolution 2023-01 granting a variance (VAR-0002-2023) to Craig’s RV Park Inc.
SUMMARY:
The applicant has applied for a Special Exception use application (USE-0215-2025) to construct a 195’ monopole communications tower and corresponding 3,000 sq ft fenced compound on a vacant +/- 8.28-acre parcel, located between NE Cubitis Ave and NE Highway 17 with frontage on both roads.
The previously approved Resolution for a variance to allow a single-family residence with a barn for livestock on this property must be repealed in order for the special exception for a 195’ communications tower to move forward.
BACKGROUND:
On November 7, 2023, the DeSoto County Board of Adjustment adopted Resolution No. 2023-01 granting a variance to allow a single-family residence with a barn for livestock on the approximately 8.28-acre Property located within the Agricultural-10 (A-10) zoning district.
Resolution No. 2023-01 was approved based upon the specific facts, circumstances, and proposed use presented to the Board of Adjustment at that time.
No building permits were issued and no construction or development has occurred pursuant to Resolution No. 2023-01.
The owner and applicant subsequently filed Special Exception Use Application USE-0215-2025 seeking approval of a communications tower and accessory equipment on the Property.
The proposed communications tower use cannot exist concurrently on the Property with a single-family residence and barn as contemplated in the previously approved variance.
