Jones County approves two conditional uses for single‑family dwellings

The Jones County Board of Commissioners approved two conditional‑use requests during its Sept. 2 meeting, allowing a metal‑sided single‑family dwelling at 240 C Planet 2 Church Road and the replacement of an existing single‑wide mobile home at 505 Mountain Springs Church Road. Both items had been recommended for approval by the county planning commission.

Paul Cheaves described his proposal at 240 C Planet 2 Church Road as “more or less like a barndominium,” saying he bought the property to live near his son and granddaughter. Planning staff told commissioners the planning commission recommended approval of Cheaves’s conditional use request.

Leroy Mahoney, the applicant for 505 Mountain Springs Church Road, said he purchased the property three to four years ago and that a single‑wide mobile home was already on the lot; he asked to replace it with a new single‑wide for himself and his wife. Planning staff said the planning commission recommended approval.

Commissioners moved and seconded approval of each request, with no opposition recorded during the meeting and a unanimous voice vote in favor reported for both items.

The approvals follow standard conditional‑use procedures in the county’s land‑use process. Commissioners moved on to other planning and zoning business after the votes.
