Board approves variance for addition at 2942 Mobley Ridge Road
Summary
The Troup County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance allowing a front-yard encroachment of about 16 feet for an addition at 2942 Mobley Ridge Road after staff explained setbacks are measured from the road center line under county ordinance.
The Troup County Board of Zoning Appeals and Planning Commission voted to approve a variance allowing an addition to encroach 16 feet toward the front of a parcel at 2942 Mobley Ridge Road. Staff presented the request and noted the addition must be constructed in accordance with the submitted site plan and that all permits must be obtained before construction.
Staff also clarified a key measurement point: "All of our front yard setbacks are measured from the center line of the road per our ordinance," a staff member said, explaining that setbacks are not measured from the property line in the front. Commissioners asked for exact distances and staff pointed to the site plan's center-line figure (68.94) and how the road right-of-way affects the property-line distance. With no public opposition, a commissioner moved to approve and the motion carried.
The board's approval includes a reminder that any significant deviation from the approved site plan must be returned to community development for review. Next procedural steps are to ensure building permits and inspections align with the approved site plan.
