The Cherokee County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance to allow an accessory structure taller than the primary residence at 431 Cartersville Street. Staff (speaker 3) described the request as an auxiliary building height of 20 feet versus the house height measured at 16 feet; the applicant said the structure is needed to accommodate a 12‑foot tall door for an RV and that the lot's slope, septic location and tree cover shaped the proposed siting.
