Votes at a glance: rezoning denied; two variances and one preliminary plat approved
Summary
At its June meeting, the board denied a rezoning request at Old Hutchinson Mill Road (3–2), approved a variance for a Roanoke Road parcel with an access-easement condition, approved a variance for an accessory structure at 5525 Roanoke Road with screening requirements, and approved the High Point preliminary plat.
Key votes from the Troup County meeting:
- Rezoning (620 Old Hutchinson Mill Road): Motion to deny carried (recorded tally 3–2). The application sought rezoning of 9.62 acres from Single Family Medium Density to General Commercial for mini/self-storage. Staff had recommended conditions including a 50-foot buffer and prohibiting access from McGraw Road if rezoned.
- Variance (5911 Roanoke Road, Joseph/Joey McAllister): Board approved alternative B for a variance to allow a two‑acre carve‑out; the approval is conditioned on the applicant recording a legal ingress/egress easement to serve landlocked parcels. Staff noted Lakeside Residential requires 150 feet of road frontage.
- Variance (5525 Roanoke Road, Charles Combs): Board approved a variance to place a 30x60-foot accessory storage structure in the front yard, conditioned on substantial adherence to the submitted site plan and maintenance of tree‑line screening.
- Preliminary Plat (High Point Subdivision): Board approved the preliminary plat (48.456 acres; 17 lots); staff emphasized health‑department soils certification is required for each lot before building permits can be issued.
These outcomes are recorded in the meeting transcript and will be entered into county records; staff listed follow-up tasks including recording conditions and ensuring required easements and soil overlays are documented.
