Beth Garman, planning staff, opened the discussion with item 8 (4212 Roy Parks Road), a rezoning application from Agricultural-Residential-4 and Highway Business to Plant-Industrial Development for a proposed natural gas facility by Clean Eagle RNG LLC. Garman said the item had been tabled previously on March 27, that the public hearing had been held and closed at that time, and that the applicant requested tabling the item to the May 8 Board of Commissioners voting meeting. Commissioners indicated May 8 should provide sufficient time for outstanding issues.

Item 9 (5709 McEver Road), an application by Mustak Musa, requested rezoning from Agricultural-Residential-1 to Planned Commercial Development for a convenience store with fuel pumps, car wash, self-storage and other retail uses. Garman said the applicant provided an updated site plan showing future road widening and a roundabout at the intersection; the transcript records that the owner intends to dedicate the highlighted area for the roundabout to the county at no charge.

Items 10–12 (3219 Lake Drive) concerned a proposed single-family subdivision and requests for variances and special use approvals; the applicant asked to table that matter to the April 22 voting meeting. Item 13 (Old Wilkie Road and Burke Lane), an application by Susan Verlander for a four-lot subdivision in Commission District 2, received a Planning Commission recommendation for approval with seven conditions and — according to staff — had no public opposition at the Planning Commission hearing.

A rezoning request at 6060 Spout Springs Road by Yuba Sutter Properties LLC to permit an office/institutional professional office building in Commission District 1 was described by staff as having Planning Commission approval with five recommended conditions and no public comments at the Planning Commission meeting. Staff provided site plans and conditions and answered commissioner questions about whether the parcel is in the phase 2 area and if right-of-way dedication would be needed for phase 2 construction.

Outcome and next steps: Staff noted which items were tabled to a later voting meeting (Clean Eagle RNG LLC to May 8; 3219 Lake Drive to April 22) and which had Planning Commission recommendations and associated conditions; several other items were presented for the commission’s awareness ahead of voting.

Ending: Commissioners were provided site plans and recommended conditions and directed staff to bring items forward at the scheduled voting meetings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hall County Board of Commissioners Work Session April 7, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Planning and zoning staff briefed the Hall County Board of Commissioners on multiple rezoning and subdivision requests, tabling some items and confirming Planning Commission-recommended conditions on others.","taxTitle","Hall County, Georgia","taxId",3595,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6075351,"Commission approves application for GDOT local roads assistance grant for resurfacing",77,1023000,1100000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2979833-9403abf792f02aaf4b935a60dccd6574&start=1023&end=1100","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2979833-9403abf792f02aaf4b935a60dccd6574/thumbnail_1023000.jpg","/articles/6075351/Hall-County/Georgia/Commission-approves-application-for-GDOT-local-roads-assistance-grant-for-resurfacing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6075351-53bd05e3477b7025a5cb9ff42d269285/orig.mp4?Expires=1770992320&Signature=FeGvBvaOvCu8IG3NXpRYDStsdNt7Xjrr91Ut-48l9MvHITjBuzAVceS1Ef96pjLA7BBBBiJ~98i4wQ6jb1Jx7vZp2atvdB~T5O27~xUFJtIG-xX8XqLBKI4msvmIsSkFZVjX3pQ51Kr9TjgActKMrIyUJx3mj0eLg8HQP5V7Xh2tVcSwhVjzi40i5mji0TDuizVC2qFEH3muDTO40zbcc~EBjnbthNF5HbFM5YLHNk9nI9EkYoqLgXCyVwwyt81AeZvXVbYakM1ZBmejf0oae3rsfpD-eZ-s2r1hl6xbqTPU3bSdCsdMmoZEzQvkKMBUottZ0RlbLXMs9IGsrmuW5g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hall County commissioners consented to authorize the chairman to execute a Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) FY2025 Local Roads Assistance grant application for resurfacing roughly 5.68 miles on 11 county roads.

Bill Nash presented the item and said the estimated cost for the work is $2,743,121.98. He said the work would be combined with an earlier LMIG list and added to the county’s FY26 resurfacing program; public works will issue a task order in spring for the resurfacing work. Nash said no local cash match is required for this round of GDOT funds.

Commissioners approved the application by consent.

Ending: Staff will proceed with the grant application and procurement steps for the FY26 resurfacing work if the grant is awarded.","Hall County approved submitting a Georgia Department of Transportation FY2025 Local Roads Assistance grant application covering an estimated $2.74 million to resurface 5.68 miles on 11 county roads; no local match required.",{"_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},6075356,"Hall County approves 2-year reservation of sewer capacity for 35 homes in Sterling On The Lake",449,1091000,1540000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2979833-9403abf792f02aaf4b935a60dccd6574&start=1091&end=1540","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2979833-9403abf792f02aaf4b935a60dccd6574/thumbnail_1091000.jpg","/articles/6075356/Hall-County/Georgia/Hall-County-approves-2-year-reservation-of-sewer-capacity-for-35-homes-in-Sterling-On-The-Lake","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6075356-6a2f3761289c62e244e589f573f4f7d1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770992320&Signature=Lsl3RvsEqLxB2C~vHvLruEuC4dmiU3MqP8v3cMJJT5BUy6fs76ms~WH5PrUtPELMvhoxAPEM4dXohRZx5-BeOz5x~uncCfiAfZj3Kc1zG3qr4D-s1g1887Kfhu6OujJJHsafqpYcrxDi~EQUsab~mTyzcoxwT0j4p7VstA~iV3AVB8Hk8I6fjQPQjza8oDBDCa71h72jsckvuCa72PbZYaywa~Nohvq4oChrVeZ3Wr7sZ1me6D83TSmyetS8I0aijzVnBpFNQUNUnN8aBHEIfa7mOemq1JW2VYDOkjI5jGWOH1wRrIRVZ7vxoM6jUbdTPwsOTS~VZn0~IwsYyk6guQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hall County Board of Commissioners on April 7 approved by consent an agreement reserving sewer service capacity for 35 additional homes in the Sterling On The Lake community.

The agreement between Hall County and NMP Looper Lake LLC sets aside sewage capacity of 200 gallons per day (gpd) per unit for the 35 homes and requires the developer to cover up to $15,000 for inspections and possible repairs to existing sewer lines in the subdivision’s Pod Z. Commissioners spent substantial time asking staff about how sewer capacity reservations work and how long the county holds reserved capacity.

Public works staff member Bill Nash said the reservation agreement would be good for up to two years and that an availability letter from the county — which shows current sewer availability — does not itself reserve capacity. “When they apply, when they make the payment, that’s when you’ve officially paid for your capacity,” Nash said. He also explained availability letters are valid for one year and that a formal reservation is recorded only when fees are paid and deposited.

Commissioners pressed staff for further accounting of reserved but unused capacity and for the county’s remaining treatment capacity. Nash gave a series of capacity figures during the discussion: he said the county’s total system capacity is 1,850,000 (units not specified in the transcript), that Spout Springs Treatment Plant currently has about 450,000 gpd used out of 750,000 gpd and is being expanded to about 1,600,000 gpd by next year, and that the county has roughly 1,000,000 gallons of reserve capacity with the City of Gainesville, of which about 200,000 gpd is being used. The transcript includes these numbers as staff statements; the county or staff should be asked for a document that reconciles those figures for precise budgeting or planning use.

Commissioners also discussed the policy question of whether the county should require developers to prepay capacity fees to hold reservations. Nash described trade-offs: prepaid capacity would lock in gallons per day for the purchaser but could limit future rezoning or approvals if reserved capacity is not available for other projects.

Outcome and follow up: The commission approved the reservation agreement by consent and directed staff to report back with additional details on allocations and unused capacity when requested by commissioners.

Ending: The item passed as a consent action; commissioners asked staff to return with clearer accounting of allocated, reserved and available sewer capacity and any fiscal implications for system expansion.","The commission consented to an agreement reserving sewer capacity for 35 additional homes in the Sterling On The Lake subdivision and discussed reservation length, payment timing and county capacity totals.",{"_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},6075342,"Commission consents to contract with Georgia DHS for drug screening services used by Family Treatment Court",40,1572000,1612000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2979833-9403abf792f02aaf4b935a60dccd6574&start=1572&end=1612","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2979833-9403abf792f02aaf4b935a60dccd6574/thumbnail_1572000.jpg","/articles/6075342/Hall-County/Georgia/Commission-consents-to-contract-with-Georgia-DHS-for-drug-screening-services-used-by-Family-Treatment-Court","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6075342-97916016739001b61c4e0fdb993940f4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770992320&Signature=kjHxhuyx4dF8AzER-dJL2EEka9AMuYQ-qiuTC3lXol9QO3R0OMgL3rP3oIRKr8-0pV5mbSGfz~~mnufPT7PCduyXPB6e3uyAGt4olWJ4no3dvbjvNBusdvlKyPW1XBARD~ahEqSeAhrSbJWW912frRVJ1e4KlTU84gKohBHqZYpNFEQvVog6VA1TwYVruWPy2nshhmtEGKF-lI18lOo8tq9Iy996VI14YSrat2-ohvU6xcKKKvtYfYhmKNu9z8qYR06Zj3Y~3Ftq0PgJKvvhPDl8217oFXITIF3j~M11262vtj9HILhFSYlGMo5smP0ACAQJPNkCNXTvq56Dnug5-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Hall County commissioners approved by consent a contract with the Georgia Department of Human Services for the county to provide drug screening services used by Family Treatment Court.
