Fannin County approves multiple residential variances, board cites staff recommendations
Summary
The board approved several property-variance requests, including projects by Hawthorne Ventures Blue Ridge LLC, Matt and Amanda Lockwood, and Melina Rodriguez, after county staff reported no issues on site visits.
The Fannin County Board of Commissioners approved multiple variance and "branch" requests during its Oct. 14 meeting, granting permission for reduced setbacks in several residential cases after staff site inspections found no objections.
Items approved included a request from Hawthorne Ventures Blue Ridge LLC to build 11 feet from a 50-foot right-of-way on Blackhawk Drive and to increase units per acre; commissioners noted staff members Keith Nicholson and Candace Newton had inspected the site and found no issues. The board also approved individual residential variance requests from Matt and Amanda Lockwood and from Melina Rodriguez to place homes closer to property lines and to Squirrel Hunt Road, respectively; staff again reported no objections.
Why this matters: Commissioners said the requests met county requirements and relied on the staff recommendations. The approvals were made by motion and voice vote; no recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript.
