Commissioners approve lot‑size reduction on Old Dallas Road, limit future house footprint
Summary
The board approved OB‑31 to reverse a prior lot merger and allow two smaller lots on Old Dallas Road, with staff conditions including department reviews and a maximum house footprint of 1,000 square feet on one tract.
The Cobb County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved Other Business OB‑31, a request from Will Mungy to reverse a lot merger and authorize lot‑size reductions and frontage variances for two tracts along Old Dallas Road.
Mungy said the split was requested to obtain an address and undo a tax merger; he told the board the parcels were previously developed and that the requested variances are administrative steps. Neighbor Jeffrey Kasas said he did not object to the split itself but asked the board to restrict future residential development on the new lot, noting his house sits very close to the shared line and that his driveway and water line cross the parcel.
Staff recommended approval subject to the submitted site plan (dated May 15, 2026), fire, Cobb DOT and stormwater comments, and a maximum house footprint on Tract 1 of 1,000 square feet. Chris Duggan of Cobb County Water confirmed that, because these lots had combined and were now being reversed, the county would not require connection to sewer as part of this subdivision.
The board approved OB‑31 with the recommended conditions, 5–0. The approval includes setback and impervious limits shown on the submitted site plan and the 1,000‑square‑foot maximum footprint on Tract 1.
What happens next: Applicant may proceed under the conditions read into the record; any development that exceeds the agreed stipulations will require further review.
