Commission approves manufactured‑home permit for 131 Pine Hill; tables another CUP amid litigation
Summary
At a July public hearing, the commission approved a conditional‑use permit allowing a manufactured home on 1.35 acres at 131 Pine Hill Rd for applicant James Shulterbrondt (subject to standard septic/perk conditions). Separately, a CUP for 110 Stagecoach Drive was tabled until Aug. 6 because of pending litigation; one commissioner abstained from that vote.
Chattahoochee County commissioners approved one conditional‑use permit at a July 24 public hearing and tabled a separate CUP while litigation remains pending.
At the public hearing, applicant James Shulterbrondt asked for permission to place a manufactured home on a 1.35‑acre lot at 131 Pine Hill Road. Shulterbrondt told the commission he currently has a camper and three sheds on the property and is seeking the permit to place a manufactured home. A nearby neighbor spoke in support. Commissioner Timothy Biddle moved to approve the permit, Commissioner Jason Frost seconded, and the vote was recorded as unanimous. Chairman Charles Coffey noted that permits remain conditioned on meeting standard requirements, including septic/perk approvals.
Separately, during the July 2 regular meeting commissioners discussed a conditional‑use permit request for 110 Stagecoach Drive. Commissioner Jason Frost moved to table consideration of that permit until the Aug. 6 meeting because of pending litigation; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Biddle and passed with one commissioner abstaining (the minutes do not identify the abstaining member). The transcript records the board’s reason for tabling as legal concerns tied to ongoing litigation.
Why it matters: Conditional‑use permits determine whether nonstandard or special uses—such as manufactured homes on smaller lots—are allowed in residentially zoned areas. Approvals are typically conditioned on public‑health requirements (percolation tests/septic permits) and on compliance with applicable zoning rules.
Next steps: The approved permit for 131 Pine Hill remains subject to septic/perk and any other standard conditions. The CUP for 110 Stagecoach Drive will return to the commission’s agenda on Aug. 6 for further consideration pending resolution or clarification of the cited litigation.
