Cusseta‑Chattahoochee commission approves conditional‑use permit to place manufactured home at 131 Pine Hill Rd
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a conditional‑use permit for James Shulterbrondt to place a manufactured home on a 1.35‑acre lot at 131 Pine Hill Rd, contingent on successful septic/percolation tests and other standard approvals. The public hearing included in‑person support from a neighbor.
The Unified Government of Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County on July 24 approved a conditional‑use permit allowing a manufactured home to be placed on a 1.35‑acre lot at 131 Pine Hill Rd.
The applicant, James Shulterbrondt, spoke at the public hearing and confirmed existing on‑site structures (a camper and three sheds). Commissioner Timothy Biddle moved to approve the permit; Commissioner Jason Frost seconded and the commission recorded a unanimous vote to grant the conditional use, subject to standard conditions including required septic/percolation (perk) approvals.
During the hearing Commissioner Damon Hoyte noted the parcel had been approved in a prior proceeding for a similar use and that approvals do not automatically carry forward to new owners. Chairman Charles Coffey clarified why the conditional‑use process exists, saying in part, “that is why we have the conditional use permit process, so the people can get a manufactured home without five acres.” A neighbor voiced support for the application and another attendee spoke in favor during the public comment period.
The decision: The permit was approved with the condition that the property meet all health and septic permits and other standard permitting requirements before placement of the manufactured home. The minutes record that the motion to approve was made by Commissioner Biddle and seconded by Commissioner Frost and that the vote was unanimous.
Next steps: The applicant must secure required septic/percolation approvals and any other required building or health permits before a manufactured home may be placed on the property.
