Commissioners approve front-setback variance for parcel on Tax Map 071
Summary
The board approved a variance reducing the front building setback to 20 feet for the property at Tax Map 071 Parcel 136, aligning the lot with other parcels on the road.
The Columbia County Board of Commissioners approved a variance to reduce a front building setback to 20 feet for property listed as Tax Map 071 Parcel 136.
Commissioner Allen moved to approve the request to reduce the front setback, citing prior approvals for similar parcels along the same stretch of road. The motion referenced the March 6, 2025 planning commission report and was seconded. Staff said the requested reduction would bring the parcel in line with neighboring lots and provide a slightly larger usable backyard for the new home.
Planning staff explained the property also has a 55-foot centerline setback requirement on that road and that the reduced front setback was consistent with other granted requests along the corridor. The board voted in favor; the motion carried.
