Commissioners set rehearings July 15 for two zoning appeals, urge prehearing outreach
Summary
The board agreed to rehear two Zoning Board of Appeals denials — Sharon Cantrell (side setback for an RV carport) and Michael Emanuello/ACME Properties (freestanding sign) — and scheduled both for July 15, 2025 while commissioners encouraged applicants to work with staff beforehand.
Cherokee County commissioners voted May 20 to rehear two separate Zoning Board of Appeals decisions and set both matters for July 15, 2025. Planning staff summarized Sharon Cantrell’s appeal of a 5‑foot side setback for a prefabricated RV carport (case 201 V) and Michael Emanuello’s appeal to allow a non‑monument freestanding sign for a converted commercial property on Highway 92.
Mr. Trawick read Cantrell’s appeal letter describing hardship from exposure to elements and a blind driveway, and he summarized Emanuello’s letter describing efforts to match the sign to the renovated building’s architectural character. Commissioners noted the Zoning Board of Appeals previously denied both requests and said rehearings give applicants the chance to provide additional information. Commissioner Ragsdale said he would contact the sign applicant to seek compliance options before the July hearing.
