Local resident seeks clarification after citations over roadside cottage bakery
Summary
Wilson Williams and his wife, Brandy Snead, told the commission their roadside cottage‑bakery and homestead pantry received code citations; they said they hold a state‑inspected kitchen and tax certificate and asked the county for clarification and expedited direction.
Wilson Williams, who identified himself as a resident and property owner, told commissioners his wife, Brandy Snead, operates a cottage bakery from a state‑inspected kitchen and had been selling baked goods from a roadside stand for about 18 months. Williams said they obtained a tax certificate but have since received citations: one alleging the accessory building exceeded allowed square footage (which Williams said was under 120 sq. ft.), and a subsequent notice applying an agricultural‑stand rule requiring 50% agricultural product content.
"We have all these dates... we have a state inspected kitchen," Williams said, asking why the county enforces the restriction on selling homemade goods from the accessory building. He said the stand had been popular in the community and asked the commission to clarify whether their cottage‑baker operations are permitted and to expedite direction.
Commissioners and staff acknowledged the complaint and told Williams to coordinate with planning or code enforcement staff and with Commissioner Ellington (who Williams said suggested raising the matter). No formal action or vote was taken on the matter tonight; the request was recorded as public comment and referred to staff for follow up.
