2 issues in development with low priority
Cemetery protection in development
A historic cemetery — including a Revolutionary War soldier's grave — sits within the proposed Hillco parcel, and another cemetery borders the Baker Road plat. State law protects cemeteries and requires access easements.
Commercial Project Setback Compliance
A rezoned commercial development near Yellow Creek hit a snag: the building board unanimously denied a variance because one building sits in the setback, though the rest of the site plan was approved. The developer has about 90 days to fix that one area, and the county attorney explained the layered process to Commissioner Dawson.
