Summary
On second reading the council approved Ordinance 24‑56 to rezone a 1.2‑acre parcel at 11732 Gapway Road from forest agriculture to R‑1½, enabling subdivision into two lots and conversion of a storage barn into a habitable accessory dwelling; planning commission recommended approval 4‑0 and council vote was recorded as 7‑0.
Georgetown County Council approved Ordinance 24‑56 on second reading at its Jan. 14 meeting, rezoning a 1.2‑acre parcel at 11732 Gapway Road from forest agriculture (FA) to R‑1½. Planning Director Holly Richardson told the council the change would allow the existing parcel to be subdivided into two lots so that a storage barn could be converted into a habitable accessory dwelling; the applicant has owned the property about 11 years.
Richardson noted the parcel has access to public water via the Georgetown County Water and Sewer District and that the applicant expressed interest in tying into Andrews sewer. The planning commission held a public hearing in November and voted 4‑0 to recommend approval; adjacent property owners had previously raised concerns about sewage and the capacity of septic systems.
Council discussed sewer‑service options and building‑permit requirements to ensure conversion of the barn would meet septic or sewer standards; after questions, members moved, seconded and carried the ordinance on second reading. The motion was recorded as passing with a 7‑0 result in the transcript.
