Commission approves CUP for 131 Pine Hill Road; tables 110 Stagecoach Drive amid litigation
Summary
After a public hearing July 24, the board approved a conditional‑use permit allowing a manufactured home on 131 Pine Hill Road subject to septic/perk requirements. Separately, the commission tabled a CUP for 110 Stagecoach Drive until Aug. 6 because of pending litigation; one commissioner abstained from that vote.
The Unified Government of Cusseta–Chattahoochee County approved a conditional‑use permit July 24 allowing a manufactured home on a 1.35‑acre lot at 131 Pine Hill Road.
Applicant James Shulterbrondt spoke in favor of the application, identifying himself and the property address. Commissioner Timothy Biddle moved to approve the permit; Commissioner Jason Frost seconded and the board voted unanimously at the public hearing to grant the CUP conditioned on standard requirements including a successful septic/perk test.
At the July 2 meeting commissioners had earlier addressed another conditional‑use permit — for 110 Stagecoach Drive — but because the item is tied to pending litigation the board voted July 2 to table that application until the Aug. 6 regular meeting. The motion to table was made by Commissioner Frost and seconded by Commissioner Biddle; the minutes record that a commissioner abstained from that vote but do not identify which member abstained.
Chairman Charles Coffey noted that the conditional‑use process exists so applicants can seek manufactured‑home permits without the five‑acre requirement otherwise associated with the county's zoning rules. The approved CUP for 131 Pine Hill is conditioned on compliance with standard site and health‑department requirements before placement of a manufactured home.
The public‑hearing minutes record neighbor comment in support of the application and state that the permit will only become effective once required septic/perk approvals and other standard conditions are met.
