Commission approves special‑use permit for Crawford Grove Church cemetery
Summary
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners approved a special‑use permit allowing Crawford Grove Church to establish a cemetery on 5.99 acres at 2034 Augusta Highway after the planning commission recommended approval and no public opposition was recorded.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners voted June 2 to grant a special‑use permit allowing Crawford Grove Church to establish a cemetery on 5.99 acres at 2034 Augusta Highway.
Director Seymour told commissioners the planning commission heard the request June 1 and "voted unanimously" to recommend approval after reviewing a new survey showing the proposed cemetery location. A pastor from Crawford Grove Church attended the public hearing and no members of the public spoke in opposition.
Commissioner Tanksley moved to accept the planning commission recommendation; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The board’s action implements the planning commission’s unanimous recommendation and allows the church to proceed with its special‑use application as described in the packet.
The zoning record shows the request as Crawford Grove Church, Map 46, Parcel 046. Director Seymour and the planning commission’s staff indicated the board will finalize administrative steps required for the special use and return any required paperwork to the applicant.
The county did not record individual roll‑call votes; the board approved the motion by voice vote. The planning and permitting process will continue under normal county procedures, and any required site or construction permits will be processed by the community development office.
