Summary

The Gordon County Board of Commissioners voted to table a variance related to a proposed commercial use on a parcel at 199 Cooper Road SE until the planning commission completes further review and notice requirements.

During the meeting's public hearing segment, staff explained an appeal and asked the board to table a variance application for property at 199 Cooper Road Southeast pending additional action from the planning commission.

Mister Smith, who presented the matter to the board, said the county building inspector had appealed the planning commission's prior decision concerning a proposed commercial venue on an 8‑acre parcel; staff indicated additional public notices and further variances may be needed, including segregating an acre for an existing residence. The planning commission is expected to review the outstanding variances and provide recommendations before the board hears the matter again.

Commissioner Stewart moved to table the application; Commissioner Sutherland seconded. The board voted by roll call with commissioners Stewart, Abernathy, Sutherland, Vice Chair Cunningham and Commissioner Owens voting yes. The motion to table carried. The board later closed the public hearing.
