Staff proposed holding an orientation and refresher workshop in April to cover bylaws and rules of procedure for both returning and new members.

The commission did not take formal action on the workshop date at the meeting; staff said they would follow up by email and poll members about timing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Bryan County Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting August 15, 2023","oneSentenceSummary","Bryan County planning staff thanked long-serving commissioner Joseph Pysinka, announced appointments of Matthew Ferreira and Scott Puffer, and proposed an April workshop to orient new members and refresh existing members on bylaws and procedures.","taxTitle","Bryan County, Georgia","taxId",28220,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6320420,"Commission approves rezoning of 5-acre tract on G.

Lanier Road from A5 Agricultural to RR-1.5, a lower-density residential designation.

Staff presentation noted the parcel sits in a low-density residential character area near the county’s northern border and that “this request to go to the RR 1.5 could potentially have up to 3 lots, if he further subdivide it,” though the applicant has proposed two lots. Staff said the RR-1.5 request limits development to one dwelling per acre due to lack of infrastructure and recommended approval as consistent with the comprehensive plan.

The applicant was not present; staff said the applicant seeks to subdivide the property for family members and that the concept shows two tracts now but could be subdivided into a third tract under the requested zoning. Commissioners asked about enforcement and whether approvals previously granted in other cases later changed; staff described the checks the county performs during minor plat and building-permit review, saying “all that's checked administratively when he goes to apply for his minor plat.” Staff added that the county requires demonstration of septic approvals and well capacity and noted access-easement rules limit the number of lots served by a non-fronting easement.

A commissioner asked whether the UDO allows access to two lots without road frontage; staff clarified the UDO “gives you access to 2 lots that don't abut a public road, so you could have 3 total.” The commission closed the public hearing and approved the rezoning by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.

Next steps for the applicant include minor-plat submittal and showing septic and well approvals during permitting; staff indicated lot access and spacing requirements will also apply.","The commission approved rezoning a 5-acre tract from A5 Agricultural to RR-1.5 on G.

Staff told the commission that “this RR 1 zoning is consistent with our comprehensive plan,” and that surrounding zoning is primarily residential; staff recommended approval. The commission closed the public hearing and approved the rezoning by voice vote (counts not specified).

Applicant Jake Reynolds, representing RJ Reynolds Construction, said the plan is “just to, rezone and build a single family home” and that the project would rely on a private well and private septic system. Resident Kelvin Kemp of 522 Dunham Marsh Trail spoke in favor and asked about a larger 27.87-acre area referenced in the notice. Kemp said the easement on the map appeared to be across the street from a neighbor and thanked the county for recently paving the road.

A staff member clarified that the 27.87 acres referenced in the packet includes utility and open-space areas and that only a small portion—the highlighted 1.4-acre parcel—is being separated for development. The staff member told the commission the existing PD designation limits development and that the rezoning would allow a residential use consistent with nearby lots.

Because the property will require a private well and septic, staff said those systems must be shown as viable during the minor plat and building-permit stages. The commission’s approval allows the applicant to proceed to those administrative steps; staff indicated standard checks on lot access, septic approval and well suitability would apply.

The commission did not record a roll-call tally in the meeting record; the action was approved by voice vote and no members announced opposition.","The Bryan County Planning and Zoning Commission approved a rezoning request to allow a single-family home on a 1.4-acre tract formerly restricted to utilities; staff said the RR-1 zoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan.","actionData","errors"]
