The request, submitted by Jacob Kuzniuk and presented by permitting agent Lisa Wilson, asked for a one‑year temporary permit for an RV at the terminus of Snow Goose Avenue while a barndominium is under construction. Wilson said the petitioner already has a building permit (issued March 31), a septic permit, and that the slab had been inspected; she said the owners needed temporary housing after losing a rental.

Planning staff explained that RV occupancy is allowed only in districts where the code expressly permits it; where the zoning code prohibits living in an RV, the conditional use process provides a path to allow a temporary residence based on demonstrated hardship. Wilson asked staff and the commission to consider whether the county could revisit the temporary‑RV permit process, arguing the current requirement forces applicants to come before the commission even for short, one‑year situations.

Commissioner discussion was limited. Commissioner Holmes made the motion to approve; Commissioner Noe seconded. The motion carried 5‑0.","The commission approved a conditional use permit allowing an RV as a temporary security residence while the owner builds a barndominium; staff explained conditional use is required where RVs are not normally allowed by code.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6550787,"Farmers market petition tabled to Aug. 11 after petitioner absent and mortgage‑holder raises liability concern",533,1660000,2193000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5382297-8dbb6623c3728ad5682bb6b9ca7ebe36&start=1660&end=2193","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5382297-8dbb6623c3728ad5682bb6b9ca7ebe36/thumbnail_1660000.jpg","/articles/6550787/Hernando-County/Florida/Farmers-market-petition-tabled-to-Aug-11-after-petitioner-absent-and-mortgageholder-raises-liability-concern","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550787-7270e33686e65dbc90feef29167dfd3b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770899796&Signature=StQTNk4Um8BXj57WnIYFbSR9VlG9sEntsNzxi13oSMfk4-5xRwFHKNki24gdveTOSo5WsB1N9O8O7QE8R9UApq2tcrqKuMiOaWIs-uVRIE~mZGKvl6tDIT-dbFNGrj7McFa5~JY~jYOY1Me-6w6zXZdQGVMBx9igo9FitiGqwOCHbc6OB46BezOpjDdU5fLKQY57rqtRidlQveQQLK30e8kdve8MhN6Y2UpM~tsY8dcLimvSjMotr0hdj1WkDwsslAdkEg4haT~NuNmCCvsyU9qLNNMHx4o~OKHPlu6-Hmu~b3Vt-~hr8J2rCxXx5Kcaxfzu1pUXzlojjMBTslAYig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning & Zoning Commission on July 14 tabled a conditional use request to establish a weekend farmers market on County Line Road until its Aug. 11 meeting, after the petitioner failed to appear and neighbors raised liability and traffic concerns.

Staff converted the petitioner’s original special‑exception application to a one‑year conditional use to allow trial operation and data collection on traffic impacts at the intersection of County Line Road and Peachtree Drive. Planning staff said the county engineer requested a temporary use in order to gauge traffic before approving a permanent special‑exception permit.

At the hearing a mortgage holder for an adjoining lot, Purna Parekh, told the commission she had been advised by counsel that a farmers market could create liability exposure for the mortgage holder as a lienholder on the property. Planning staff explained that the mortgage holder is a financer and not the record owner, but acknowledged the concern; staff also noted the petitioner was not present to address questions.

Commissioner Nick Holmes moved to table the item until Aug. 11; Commissioner Jonathan McDonald seconded. The motion passed 5‑0. Staff told the petitioner the commission expects the petitioner to appear at the rescheduled hearing and warned that failure to attend could result in denial.","A proposed weekend farmers market on County Line Road was converted to a one‑year conditional use to gather traffic data; the Planning & Zoning Commission tabled the item to Aug. 11 after the petitioner did not appear and a mortgage holder voiced liability worries.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6550791,"Panel approves utility operations center on Boy Scouts land with conditions after split vote",1411,4675000,6086000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5382297-8dbb6623c3728ad5682bb6b9ca7ebe36&start=4675&end=6086","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5382297-8dbb6623c3728ad5682bb6b9ca7ebe36/thumbnail_4675000.jpg","/articles/6550791/Hernando-County/Florida/Panel-approves-utility-operations-center-on-Boy-Scouts-land-with-conditions-after-split-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550791-442ec3334f92c5c9801aa3e6243993de/orig.mp4?Expires=1770899796&Signature=aC~KobNlkPJ6cghaLlYE07aAKnWV2DOZyCr6wRGpWe5rxOKn~FH6wVRv8Sq8pWqFbVpsXd4E5tsMQd~VdZIwXRzXjKYzvvwGjrNiDwKK4kAcPJwZa-QvcPWil0-LenZBCf5CU8VKuxmnPiGuA7t9UuPQGpE00rfTw6RHSGSNKJnw3TUmOI4EzPhRcGxdLnqMFO1zJ34OaIEyxqXmaUKrdbVSlan5w4cHpXs5p~v4C-eoHo0iG773kRDtzama0l9wxyzJUv3QjtT10PizDcb3BGH0fl9JhAYqasXj~7KHsD3iZnocE3Id80U2XuM9OLcx-bqRkF5JtHqcDeoYSiXANA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hernando County Planning & Zoning Commission approved a public‑service facility overlay district (PSFOD) for an electric utility operations center on a roughly 52‑acre portion of the Sand Hill Scout Reservation, voting 3‑2 after negotiating language on access and screening.

The proposed project by Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative (WREC) would create administrative offices, equipment and vehicle storage, a staging area for storm response and a future substation adjacent to an existing power line. The county packet says the WREC use will occupy about 52 acres of a 1,251‑acre Boy Scouts property.

Petition representatives described the site as a natural staging location for storm restoration and noted that the Boy Scouts and WREC already collaborate on storm response. Coastal Engineering and planning consultants told the commission the parcel was granted in fee simple to the Boy Scouts after a quiet‑title judgment finalized in January 2024; the consultants submitted that judgment to the record at the hearing.

Don Lacey and Betsy Jolley of Coastal Engineering, representing the applicant, said the plan preserves existing vegetation along the power‑line corridor, provides landscape buffering along State Road 50 (Cortez Boulevard) and avoids direct access to Route 50. Jolley said the requested overlay is consistent with the comprehensive plan because a PSFOD is an allowed mechanism for minor public facilities across future land‑use categories.

Planning staff and the applicant proposed three edits to staff conditions. The commission accepted revised language requiring the petitioner to coordinate with the county engineer on entrance‑road design, including potential future connections for a frontage/edge road to the east (and to investigate a possible west connection). The commission also agreed that outdoor storage be set back from Route 50 (staff proposed 125 feet) and screened by a landscape buffer and fencing, and that the petitioner deliver a master plan in coordination with the Board of County Commissioners within a clarified time frame after the board’s approval memo.

Petitioner presentations emphasized the public benefit of a consolidated operations center and storm‑restoration staging area. “This project will allow them to put equipment and staging on site to support quicker storm response,” one Coastal Engineering speaker said during the presentation.

Commissioner discussion focused on compatibility with surrounding land uses and the mechanics of frontage‑road interconnectivity. Commissioner Nick Holmes moved to approve the overlay and to incorporate the discussed revisions to conditions 5, 11 and 13; Commissioner Justin Noe seconded. The motion passed 3‑2.

Staff noted there is currently a new signalized intersection serving the HCA Oak Hill Hospital and that coordination with the county engineer will be necessary to ensure emergency and operational access. The Boy Scouts representatives told the commission that the WREC facility will occupy a small portion (about 52 acres) of the overall reservation and that remaining land would remain in scouting use.

The commission’s approval advances the project to the Board of County Commissioners for final action; staff will finalize condition language with the petitioner before the Board hearing.","The commission approved a public‑service facility overlay district for WREC to site an electric utility operations center and future substation on about 52 acres of Sand Hill Scout Reservation, with changes to conditions on road frontage, outdoor storage screening and timing of master‑plan submittal; vote was 3‑2.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6550796,"Planning panel approves Olivia Rose Manor assisted‑living home with larger setbacks, drainage easement option",1737,2253000,3990000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5382297-8dbb6623c3728ad5682bb6b9ca7ebe36&start=2253&end=3990","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5382297-8dbb6623c3728ad5682bb6b9ca7ebe36/thumbnail_2253000.jpg","/articles/6550796/Hernando-County/Florida/Planning-panel-approves-Olivia-Rose-Manor-assistedliving-home-with-larger-setbacks-drainage-easement-option","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6550796-ad430849df0d127defa6ced0bfd151e8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770899796&Signature=A0rVc7Ol9lYtDPkz-6jpyF18nigDxfAjwb4ETGrv08EvEZtBJaYz7VFY4mEJIbXnyhaK7zoWgz2e2qKv5dhMHe4DHn7CIjGxVmaQIeAV0vHNHzbVe87EcDydSr0i6dOL-QON~Jct-781I0UvUNhBu7IGVtDRCLgE-CFjX1C-myQoukNzxdzlSLNZnZrGGkcLiO5B5OvZi63QQsCTBaajqA3aGsG2cDyI2xm0yttH9-FfASBLpkFnHLYaJcnDunEZS25GpYtn1Gf3M~C6zOas7UvYTLNIJ59YWKERAcnhYDbTLtx6-6emvcE~ccyH5tyJV-Vjno60oL2m90cH6Da8eQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hernando County Planning and Zoning Commission on July 14 approved a special‑exception use permit for Olivia Rose Manor LLC to build a single‑story assisted‑living residence intended to house 14 residents, voting 5‑0 after changes to staff conditions.

The commission approved a site plan for an approximately 6,000‑square‑foot residence with a common living room, dining area, ADA‑compliant restrooms, caregiver accommodations and a full kitchen. Commissioners added a requirement that the petitioner work with county engineering on stormwater access and that the front/roadway setbacks be increased to 50 feet from any road frontage. The commission also directed staff to add language that the petitioner may be required to provide an easement to Hernando County for maintenance or access to the on‑site retention pond, if the county engineer deems it necessary.

The change matters to neighbors because the parcel was rezoned in 2021 for a 12‑lot single‑family subdivision; the petitioner instead proposes one larger residence to serve seniors. Planning staff said the special‑exception process allows assisted‑living facilities in residential zoning without a full rezoning.

Petitioner Terrence Schabillion, who said he and his wife operate an existing Olivia Rose Manor facility nearby, told the commission the project is intended to provide a home‑like alternative for seniors: “We’re not trying to recreate the neighborhood. The reason we want to be in the residential neighborhood is because most of our seniors want to still be in home. They don’t want to be put into a facility.” He said the proposed home would generate far less traffic than the previously‑approved 12 single‑family homes.

Planning staff noted the structure will be subject to commercial review at building permit stage and must meet setback and landscape conditions from the 2021 rezoning (H21602). Public comments included concerns about proximity to bus stops and property values. Resident Vanessa Justino said she lives on Chip and Dale Street near the site and asked why the operator could not expand its existing facility instead of building on this parcel.

Todd Crosby, interim public works director and county engineer, told the commission that drainage structures on the property will need to be reviewed at permitting and any changes to the retention pond must comply with the Southwest Florida Water Management District and county requirements. Crosby explained that if the retention area is on private property, maintenance responsibility will shift to the private owner but the county may require an easement for access or drainage rights.

Commissioner Nick Holmes moved to approve the special exception with the added 50‑foot setbacks and the easement language; Commissioner Jonathan McDonald seconded. The motion passed 5‑0.

Commission discussion also addressed on‑site parking (the preliminary plan shows a small parking area, including an ADA space), the developer’s stated plan to retain open space for residents, and the requirement that any operational changes return to county staff and the commission if they later seek a different land use.

The petitioner said he will work with staff on final plan details before building permits. No litigation or other legal challenges were noted at the hearing.","Hernando County Planning & Zoning Commission approved a special‑exception permit for Olivia Rose Manor LLC to build an approximately 6,000‑square‑foot assisted‑living residence for 14 residents, adding a condition that the developer may need to grant an easement for a nearby retention pond and increasing road frontage setbacks to 50 feet.","actionData","errors"]
