Commission approves variance to allow second principal use on sub-2-acre Isbell Road lot
Summary
The planning commission approved a variance permitting a second principal use (single-wide mobile home) on a property just under two acres at 369 Isbell Road Extension to house family members, citing neighbor support and the parcel's surrounding rural character.
The Stephens County Planning Commission approved a variance on July 1 allowing a second principal use on a parcel smaller than two acres at 369 Isbell Road Extension, requested by Carolyn Holcomb and presented by Arlyn Holcomb.
Staff told the commission that Chapter 59 (section referenced in the staff report) limits one principal building on lots under two acres, so a variance is required to place an additional single-wide mobile home behind the existing house for family members. Arlyn Holcomb said the additional unit would house a family with three children needing affordable accommodation. She said neighbors, including the adjacent property owner Justin Carpenter, had no objections.
After a brief hearing with no opposition, the commission approved the variance. The transcript shows the motion carried by voice vote; no numeric roll-call tally appears in the record.
