City staff said the Wharton Station PD document, recorded Jan. 2024, requires all commercial development within the PD to comply with the city’s nonresidential design standards and the Gateway Corridor Overlay (GCO). The applicant, Sellers General Construction (agent Tyler Thomas), said the mini‑storage design includes brick facade treatments on the two buildings visible from Pitch Landing and metal panels on interior buildings where only roll‑up doors will be visible.

Tyler Thomas said the facility’s layout, landscaping and a six‑foot screen fence will minimize visibility of the metal buildings from public rights-of-way. \"We're not allowed to have metal buildings products under the city limits... but there is a big buffer, and there's a 6-foot fence that's more likely gonna be fine... and the landscaping,\" Thomas said, adding the gates and brick-faced buildings will be the primary visible elements from Pitch Landing.

Board members compared the request to earlier approvals in similar locations and, finding the visibility mitigation appropriate for interior buildings, voted to grant the materials variance. The variance is limited to the PD parcel and specified buildings; the applicant must meet any additional nonresidential design and permitting requirements during the civil plan and building-permit process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Conway Board of Zoning Appeals | August 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved a variance allowing metal building panels for most mini‑storage buildings at 1065 Pitch Landing Road within the Wharton Station planned development, provided brick facades face the public frontage.","taxTitle","Conway, Horry County, South Carolina","taxId",53933,"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},6479522,"Board grants variance for accessory building at property on Jasmine Drive",151,3373000,3524000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5693516-df590e0de386f919c0184c5a4b7a889e&start=3373&end=3524","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5693516-df590e0de386f919c0184c5a4b7a889e/thumbnail_3373000.jpg","/articles/6479522/Conway/Horry-County/South-Carolina/Board-grants-variance-for-accessory-building-at-property-on-Jasmine-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6479522-2723339f18046bb0c25e4982f3026fb3/orig.mp4?Expires=1774986242&Signature=jdVJ6Q9smv-~FjEFG7VkqMNwZ1te-wW3p~1uCnMyGRtG8IM7vpnmYYKxG2Fq4oafhMgUObSPC2cCsqsExOugpG6Jg2jISURneKnCbEyHekH8pMoIN8Fct8h9PYoUD0QC-BGMkI7Mbv0BrK8D8c242BQ33Cc2d5BwtiVov0WnQN5EkLRLvRrrJ-Fcn4WUS~cGdJvoeVxxvDwwF5~QAvWQSMJ6G9Ehe0KmVFXzT2ShGSLNaDImW8tXArwouVgo54WLkDAxqUukwRNWiPq1HbQyouL~kCpR9Kqm5Gsxm8xi5tBtFR-tmOJiRG-ZBeqkxC2JufwZq4Ck2JryGMEsa1ukww__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance on Aug. 28 allowing Douglas and Rose Hardwick to permit an accessory structure in a double-front yard adjacent to New Road at their Jasmine Drive property.

City staff said the lot is a legal nonconforming parcel and that lots adjoining two streets are treated as having front yards on each street under the UDO. The applicants applied to replace one existing accessory structure with a 26-by-26 metal building and indicated it would replace an existing structure; staff noted the lot already had two accessory structures and the new structure would replace one and remain within the three‑structure limit.

No members of the public came forward to speak for or against the application. Board members found the lot’s double-front configuration and existing nonconforming status created the extraordinary conditions supporting a variance and voted to grant the request. Staff will follow up on permit and placement details during the building-permit review.","The board granted Douglas and Rose Hardwick a variance to permit a replacement accessory structure in a double-front yard on Jasmine Drive; no members of the public testified for or against the request.",{"_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},6479524,"Variance granted for 6-foot privacy fence at 1501 Oconee Avenue with sight‑triangle condition",457,2846000,3303000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5693516-df590e0de386f919c0184c5a4b7a889e&start=2846&end=3303","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5693516-df590e0de386f919c0184c5a4b7a889e/thumbnail_2846000.jpg","/articles/6479524/Conway/Horry-County/South-Carolina/Variance-granted-for-6-foot-privacy-fence-at-1501-Oconee-Avenue-with-sighttriangle-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6479524-a7e9c5496d455e1cb4595851cef76b23/orig.mp4?Expires=1774986242&Signature=Ru663yWfUcW0~LaP5plexaiZ6TgtryPbqHntdPPPnoXX1jR7Hpvd1-Lck7z1aqEyPDDE5jjaF6~nBrf0Ebgh4mZn67ciKTAelPZVagms2Ro~Vs8ULfJMgQweX3T8hJVgsqa~r7JVHOLn5lxnpXPaWQYXfalxDn~T~0ONTZvOH2ViOF3O4EeaokvyxR1BcT-BkaYBVRJUX3Su5e4mgvjfgsC7lDPQD7Pw9dsDC8s-HUmYSsoRgM7NGCX6hjesGYFnoQNlRI9OMFBWTWcwPkADg2U6WPH2U-a~0cY6SpilplDo9rSWDFGEImCpAzCVSmJHvrcvT3dHYpUXuPUyFtOOWw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance on Aug. 28 to allow a 6‑foot privacy fence at 1501 Oconee Avenue to be located 4 feet from the corner-front property line along Church Street, but required that the fence meet the 10-foot setback within the traffic sight triangle for safety.

City staff explained that the corner parcel is subject to corner-front setbacks and that a 6-foot privacy fence may be installed in a corner front yard only with a 10-foot setback to preserve visibility at the intersection. Kim, the city staff member, said staff would require the 6-foot fence to meet the 10-foot setback at least within the site triangle for safety reasons.

Property owner Sean Butler told the board he sought the fence placement to preserve trees and reduce trash and encampment activity behind the bushes near Church Street: \"We're having a lot of problems with people depositing materials in the bushes like needles, beer bottles, trash. People even sleeping behind the bushes,\" Butler said. Supporters who live nearby said similar fences exist close to the sidewalk on adjacent blocks and testified they had been approved in past cases.

The board asked that, if the fence is placed close to the corner, the finished side face Church Street and any portion that approaches the intersection remain outside the sight triangle. A motion to approve the variance carried with the condition that the fence remain clear of the site triangle used for intersection safety and that the finished side face Church Street as required by the UDO.","The board approved a variance permitting a 6-foot privacy fence closer than the usual 10-foot corner setback at 1501 Oconee Avenue, and required that the fence not obstruct the traffic sight triangle at the intersection.",{"_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},6479526,"Board approves accessory-structure variance at Serenity Point Recovery property with 20-foot setback condition",527,2306000,2833000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5693516-df590e0de386f919c0184c5a4b7a889e&start=2306&end=2833","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5693516-df590e0de386f919c0184c5a4b7a889e/thumbnail_2306000.jpg","/articles/6479526/Conway/Horry-County/South-Carolina/Board-approves-accessory-structure-variance-at-Serenity-Point-Recovery-property-with-20-foot-setback-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6479526-dbb44d0a97199264c019f24bd5394458/orig.mp4?Expires=1774986242&Signature=QnGgJK9vDDK2FAg1uc8lE-Y5wKezO3PPxsaNBDu9HKk6g8CmUpNy1QrQCKy9uznNmB6izBBnV3yyGnA0pBz~U3W0Hje4gUyBhnD1RA5-3o8w02872qYaKJe4mCKZHDjoVEzmAUTLCeVGiOqLQozyJecMFdWEzwteNsinEHJDVkZLs7J3VFA~r2vqJly5CyJ5PnDac2TNm1BmZQdZeVLXx1Eg8Yl1CnZHjYeDduV7e~2AyA8Ez6KkfNdHU4gqaTFPrh3jfWgHlqZeJEN7LWALWiCj8bAX3fzH6VweKygR2lvj5p~lL5FtK0Ukxml4s5uD~8RKV2CRWYALjT0YEvzH4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Zoning Appeals on Aug. 28 approved a variance to allow an accessory structure in a front yard at 2121 Oak Street, the site of Serenity Point Recovery, and imposed a condition that the structure meet a 20-foot setback from Elm Street.

City staff said the parcel is triangular and functions as a double-front lot because it borders both Elm Street and Oak Street; setbacks in the R‑1 district are 20 feet front, 20 feet rear, 10 feet side, and 20 feet for corner/double-front lots. Kim, the city staff presenter, said the applicant proposes a 10-by-20 accessory structure that would sit approximately 13.25 feet from the Elm Street property line on the submitted site plan.

Eric Curtis, agent for property owner RendingPoint Recovery LLC, said the intent is to reduce cut-through traffic across the parking area and improve safety: \"I'm trying to minimize the amount of traffic that cuts through that parking lot and just causes potential safety issues, with children and others.\" Staff recommended approval with the condition that the structure meet a 20-foot setback from Elm Street.

Board members discussed scope and possible conditions and noted that use rules and permitting (including allowed uses for accessory structures) remain part of later permitting and not resolved by the variance. The board voted to approve the variance with the 20-foot setback condition; staff said the accessory structure would be permitted for storage rather than living space and that building permits and any use restrictions would be enforced at the permitting stage.","The board granted a variance allowing an accessory structure in one of two front yards at 2121 Oak Street (site of Serenity Point Recovery) with a condition that the structure meet a 20-foot setback from Elm Street.",{"_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},6479527,"Board approves variance to allow 6-foot fence at 216 Buckingham Lane",1971,301000,2272000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5693516-df590e0de386f919c0184c5a4b7a889e&start=301&end=2272","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5693516-df590e0de386f919c0184c5a4b7a889e/thumbnail_301000.jpg","/articles/6479527/Conway/Horry-County/South-Carolina/Board-approves-variance-to-allow-6-foot-fence-at-216-Buckingham-Lane","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6479527-ac8c442631a224925ea39e33c95d1b2e/orig.mp4?Expires=1774986242&Signature=hP0hpZEWPoIXjQkLomm0X7c-8eDlPFc0c0XtPKMkB6NVS~XhjEAJCCfmU2IsS9g7317U8Z5yiPEuk6eN6Wrml3NjkpjU5L5EsiJtAXg-dtLmPCWkt9qI5L0h9wjT8gPjH6JHPPn0YBVsu2rQmu5gfFoyCrhj5uGSoFps7vV-ocoJzCEQb~EuTJW31SFrpbXdza4qcbnWUgxf4YZ44~p78Mvctv6bb5vdjdJRL4RL8Q~690OWBdBeluUlSY4fF8BWE-k8UO-a1whGVtXOAaEq6t1Xe1aKzGSSt6K0cGVU~zGtW1esyC-N23wAFMemetkKIYQ6JbQbIbIGnaZF4~WboA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Conway Board of Zoning Appeals on Aug. 28, 2025, granted a two-foot variance to allow a 6-foot fence in the front yard at 216 Buckingham Lane, approving an after-the-fact fence permit application despite objections from nearby residents.

City planning staff said the owner, Jay Sellers, built a 6-foot fence without a permit and subsequently applied for a fence permit and submitted an engineer’s letter saying the fence meets minimum requirements of the International Residential Code, but that the fence height exceeded the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) limit of 4 feet in a front yard. Kim, a city staff member, told the board the parcel was annexed into the city on 05/15/2023 and is zoned R low–medium density residential.

Attorney Mike Battle, representing the property owner, argued the lot’s size, shape and slope create “extraordinary or exceptional conditions” that justify a variance. \"The extraordinary and exceptional conditions that I would point to deal with the fact that you have a 4-acre lot,\" Battle said, describing a downhill slope and nearby new development that, he said, increase runoff and necessitate a mitigation buffer.

Opponents, represented by attorney Rob Shelton of the Bellamy Law Firm, told the board the structure functions as an impoundment and has caused new drainage and erosion problems for neighbors. \"It is an impoundment,\" Shelton said, adding that the neighbors had not been provided a hydrological or geotechnical study and that the wall had already failed once. Neighbor Ryan Jenga said a recent survey showed soil and erosion on his property since the wall was built: \"Until 02/2019, our property has never experienced flooding or damage. This has changed since this wall has been built.\"

Kim, the city staff member, said the section of wall she measured was 6 feet from grade: \"I didn't measure every part of the brick wall, but the section that I measured was 6 feet.\" Jay Sellers told the board parts of the wall have not yet been backfilled because of adjacent development and said he planned to bring in fill so the wall would measure 6 feet from finished grade.

The board noted its review was limited to the height variance under the UDO and not to structural, hydrologic or building-code compliance, which fall to other city departments. Two members — identified at the meeting as recused for this item — did not participate in the vote. A motion to approve the two‑foot variance carried; the board did not record a roll-call vote on the record.","The Board of Zoning Appeals voted to allow an after-the-fact 6-foot fence in the front yard at 216 Buckingham Lane, granting a two-foot height variance after hearing competing testimony about drainage and structural concerns.","actionData","errors"]
