Summary

The North Augusta Board of Zoning Appeals granted a variance to allow an enlarged barn at the Charles Hammond House to enclose a dance floor, rescinding a prior condition that permitted an outdoor dance floor; the change is intended to reduce noise for neighbors and includes conditions limiting the footprint and applicability to the current site.

The North Augusta Board of Zoning Appeals on March 4 voted to grant application ZV25-001, allowing an enlarged barn at the Charles Hammond House, 908 West Martintown Road, so that an event dance floor would be located inside an enclosed structure instead of outdoors.

The variance, filed by property owner James O'Neil, was approved with conditions that restrict the building footprint to the concept shown in the submitted exhibits and state that the variance applies only to the present property and does not vest future development rights. The board also rescinded the earlier special-exception language that allowed an outdoor dance floor and specified that any dance floor must be located inside the barn.
