BZA elects officers, approves minutes and adopts two variances
Summary
At the meeting the DeKalb County Board of Zoning Appeals elected officers by unanimous vote, approved past minutes, and approved two petitions: a use variance for a sawmill (25-01) and a fence-height variance (25-02).
The DeKalb County Board of Zoning Appeals opened its meeting and conducted internal business, electing officers and approving minutes before addressing two variance petitions.
Board members voted to retain Meredith Wright as secretary and elected Frank (name recorded in roll) as chair and Jason Carnahan as vice chair. The board approved minutes from the October 14, 2024 meeting by unanimous consent.
The board then considered two petitions and approved both: petition 25-01 (Cedar Creek Sawmill use variance) and petition 25-02 (10-foot chain-link fence variance at 1047 U.S. 6 in Corona). Both approvals carry conditions requiring compliance with county agencies and additional procedural steps (replat, drainage approvals, and written evidence of compliance before certificate of occupancy or completion is issued).
