Board approves front-yard accessory building variance at 785 McKay Road

Jones County Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting 1-27-25 · January 28, 2025

Summary

The Jones County Board of Appeals and Adjustments approved Kenneth Cottrill’s request to place a 30-by-40 accessory garage in the front yard at 785 McKay Road (R1, ~5.28 acres).

The Jones County Board of Appeals and Adjustments approved a variance allowing an accessory building to be sited in the front yard at 785 McKay Road.

Applicant Kenneth Cottrill told the board he plans to build a roughly 30-by-40-foot garage. He said the only relatively flat portion of his 5.28-acre R1 lot would place the building in front of the house, although the structure would sit about 750 feet from the road and another property lies between his building site and the road. Cottrill said other parts of the lot are sloped or contain the home’s drain field, and moving dirt to get the building behind the house would be expensive.

No one spoke in opposition. A board member moved to approve the variance; another seconded and the board approved the request by voice vote. The transcript does not record any conditions or individual vote counts.
