From Leader Publications: Father and daughter duo Justin and Joanna Bondurant want to bring a new, affordable housing style to Jefferson County.
They hope to build 22 tiny cottage-style homes, ranging from 400-800 square feet, on approximately 2.7 acres off Miller Road just outside Arnold. The development would be called Scenic View Cottage Community.
The Bondurants presented their development plan on Feb. 27 to the Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Commission, which voted unanimously to recommend that the County Council approve the plan. The commission also recommended approval of the Bondurants’ request to rezone a portion of the property from single-family residential to planned mixed residential.
The County Council, which has the sole authority over rezoning, will likely consider a resolution to approve the rezoning request and development plan at a meeting this month.
Justin Bondurant owns JMB Performance & Powdercoat, a custom fabricated auto parts company in Hillsboro. Joanna Bondurant, 19, manages The Wandering Bean, a Hillsboro coffee shop. Justin Bondurant said his daughter would live in one of the tiny homes and act as the property manager.
Bondurant said he and Joanna purchased the property six months ago.
