Board approves setback variance for Pine Ridge Court lot in Lake Lorraine subdivision
Summary
The Board of Adjustments approved a variance reducing side setbacks to allow a proposed single-family home on a narrow lot recorded before zoning ordinances.
The Bryan County Board of Adjustments approved a variance request to reduce side setbacks for a proposed single-family home on a narrow lot on Pine Ridge Court in the Lake Lorraine subdivision on April 15, 2025.
Planner presentation noted the lot was recorded in 1965, predating modern zoning; the parcel is narrow (about 100 feet at its widest point, below the 50-foot lot-width threshold cited for RR‑1) and the applicant requested reducing each side setback from 35 feet to 25 feet to allow a home design that meets front and rear setbacks. Staff recommended approval because the application met variance criteria under the Unified Development Ordinance.
No members of the public registered to speak on this application, and the board closed the public hearing and approved the variance motion. The approval clears the way for the applicant to pursue building permits and final site plans consistent with the approved setback reductions.
