Board approves beer-and-wine license and two manufactured-home applications after extended public comment on Turkey Point Drive
Summary
During public hearings the board approved a malt-beverage and wine license for Dixit Patel at 7755 West Point Road and approved manufactured-home applications for Carly McCall (Turkey Point Drive) and Anthony Wood (Reed Road). Carly McCall’s application drew several residents who voiced concerns about property values and notification; staff said the application predated an Aug. 1 UDO change that now limits manufactured homes to agricultural zoning, so it remained eligible.
The Troup County Board of Commissioners approved multiple public-hearing items Sept. 2, including a beer-and-wine license for a West Point Road business and two manufactured-home applications.
Planning staff (Miss Ruth) recommended approval of a malt-beverage and wine license filed by Dixit Patel for 7755 West Point Road; the board approved the license after no public opposition spoke.
The largest public comment portion involved an application from Carly McCall to place a manufactured home on a 10.5-acre parcel on Turkey Point Drive in lakeside residential zoning. The application included conditions recommended by staff (compatibility with single-family standards and required permits). Several residents, including Gerald Cash, Mike Fogg and Gail Dacus, spoke in opposition or expressed concerns about property values and the potential for additional manufactured-home approvals nearby. Gerald Cash noted the parcel had been quitclaimed into two lots earlier in 2025 and said residents feared a trend toward more manufactured homes 'around the lake,' which they said could affect property values.
Staff and commissioners explained that the application was filed before a new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) took effect Aug. 1, which now limits manufactured homes primarily to agricultural zoning; because the application predated that change it remained eligible for approval. After public comment the board approved the first reading and vote-eligible motion for the Carly McCall application.
Planning staff then presented an application for Anthony Wood to place a manufactured home on a two-acre parcel on Reed Road (suburban medium-density residential); no public opposition spoke and the board approved the first reading and vote-eligible motion. Staff reiterated conditions: the unit must comply with single-family/manufactured-home standards and obtain septic, building, driveway and land-disturbance permits.
The board closed the public hearings and returned to regular session.
