The Gila County Board of Supervisors approved a Conditional Use Permit application for Michael and Dina Walling at its May 4 meeting. The CUP allows the Wallings to build a three-story, 39-foot tall single-family residence in the Hunter Creek Ranch subdivision northeast of Payson.
There were only three neighboring property owners who attended the required community meeting on the issue, according to Randy Pluimer, acting director of the countyâs Community Development Department. He said none objected to the Wallingsâ plans. He added there have been no other comments submitted on the project.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on March 18. The commissioners voted 7 to 0 to recommend to the Board of Supervisors approval of the CUP application, with one commissioner absent.
