Putnam County approves conditional use for barn, tables multiple Harmony Road rezoning requests
Summary
Putnam County commissioners approved a conditional use for a 40' x 60' multi-use barn at 297 Anchor Point Drive and tabled three rezoning requests on Harmony Road and a separate rezoning request at 826 Harmony Road until Feb. 17, 2026 for further review.
The Putnam County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 16 approved a conditional use permit allowing a 40-foot by 60-foot multi-use barn with storage at 297 Anchor Point Drive under two conditions: the parcel may not be subdivided, and accessory structures are limited to the one barn sited in accordance with development regulations. The motion to approve was made by Commissioner Jeff Wooten and seconded by Commissioner Tom McElhenney; Commissioners McElhenney, Richard Garrett (by phone) and Wooten voted yea.
The board heard three separate rezoning requests on Harmony Road—an application to rezone 30 acres, a 1.01-acre parcel, and 26.32 acres from AG to R‑PUD—presented by agent Ross Mundy. Planning and Development staff recommended denial, while the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval subject to conditions including parcel combination and substantial compliance with a conceptual plan. After discussion, the board voted to table items 7–9 until its Feb. 17, 2026 meeting. The motion to table was made by Commissioner Tom McElhenney and seconded by Commissioner Jeff Wooten; Commissioners McElhenney, Garrett and Wooten voted yea.
A separate request to rezone 5.99 acres at 826 Harmony Road from AG to C‑1 was also presented by the agent; staff recommended denial while the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval. The board voted to table that request until Feb. 17, 2026 and Chairman Bill Sharp closed the zoning public hearing at approximately 6:28 p.m.
No members of the public signed in to speak against the Harmony Road rezoning items; Ross Mundy displayed a slideshow in support of the landowners' requests. Planning and Zoning Chair Charles Gray summarized the commission’s recommendation during the public hearing.
The board’s action on these items means the conditional-use permit will proceed under the stated conditions, while the Harmony Road and 826 Harmony Road rezoning requests will return for fuller consideration at the February meeting.
