Board denies variance for unpermitted accessory building on Grayson Lane after neighbor objections

Nov 5, 2025

Commissioners voted to deny variance P25‑0047, which would have allowed a metal accessory building to encroach into a 40‑foot rear setback. Staff recommended denial because the structure was erected without permits and the hardship was created by the owner; neighbors reported multiple unpermitted structures and encroaching driveway concerns.

The Oconee County Board of Commissioners denied a variance request on Nov. 4 to permit an accessory metal building to encroach 32.6 feet into a required 40‑foot rear setback at 1230 Grayson Lane.
