Summary
The board approved a variance allowing Daniel and Heather Collin to place a 1‑bed, 1‑bath, 600‑square‑foot home 57 feet from the road edge on Flat Creek Circle after staff review; septic and slope issues were discussed but no further conditions were recorded.
Fannin County commissioners approved a variance permitting Daniel and Heather Collin to build a one‑bedroom, one‑bath, 600‑square‑foot home 57 feet from the road edge on Flat Creek Circle.
Staff and commissioners reported an on‑site review and noted the parcel’s slope and rocky soil; county staff said they consulted with local septic and planning contacts and that guidance indicated the proposal met applicable requirements. Commissioners asked questions about the setback measurement and septic feasibility; staff said they had discussed the site and that a clear direction appeared available from the county’s review but did not cite a specific regulation during the discussion.
The board made a motion to approve the request, a second was recorded and the motion passed. Commissioners asked staff to document the file with their prior site review notes and any septic review correspondence.
