Franklin
County Commissioners will be busy on Tuesday.
The
commission will hold three public hearings tomorrow.
The
first public hearing will be on the St. George Island Overlay
district which is a set of rules to guide development in the St.
George Island commercial district.
When
the County established the Corridor Overlay District in 2018,
one of the new rules was to no longer allow residential
buildings in the Commercial District.
The
commission is now considering doing away with that rule and once
again allowing homes in the Commercial District.
The
second hearing is to prohibit
the parking or leaving of motor vehicles, trailers, or recreational
vehicle type units on public property in unincorporated Franklin
County overnight.
The
rule would also providing for towing at owner's expense.
The
third public hearing is for a land use change and rezoning for just
under 6 acres on Highway 98 in Lanark Village that would allow for
the construction of a Dollar Store on the site.
The
issue has proved to be highly contentious with some people concerned
about how a dollar store would affect Lanark Village with lights and
traffic.
Questions
have also been raised about whether a dollar store is needed there as
there are already a dollar store in Carrabelle just a few miles away.
Others
say that the business will make shopping more convenient for Lanark
residents as well as provide needed jobs.
The
public hearings will be held during the county commission's regular
meeting which starts at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning at the Franklin
County courthouse annex in Apalachicola.
