Polk County approves multiple variances and a subdivision, denies a rezoning to light industrial
Summary
The board approved setback and driveway variances for properties in Cedartown and Rockmart, approved a 1.25-acre subdivision in Aragon, and denied a rezoning request for light industrial use at 255 Super Deluxe Road; one commissioner abstained on the denial due to political affiliation.
On April 2 Polk County commissioners approved several land-use requests and one denial.
The board approved a variance for Jerome W. Bentley and Jody B. Smith for Tax Parcel 026-038A at 578 Tallapoosa Highway in Cedartown to reduce front‑yard setbacks. It also approved a variance for Tommy Sanders on Tax Parcel 059-017B at 205 Marquette Road, Rockmart, to allow use of an existing driveway; that approval was amended to include a refund of application fees at the request of Commissioner Ray Carter. Commissioners unanimously approved both variances.

The motion to deny passed with Commissioners Hubbard, Liles, Martin and Thaxton voting in favor; Commissioner Ray Carter abstained, citing a political affiliation.
