Planning commission approves front-yard accessory variance for Keller property

Stephens County Planning Commission · September 3, 2025

Summary

Stephens County Planning Commission approved a variance allowing an accessory structure in the front yard of a 4.34-acre parcel owned by Tony Keller after staff said the structure is not visible from neighboring properties and recommended approval.

The Stephens County Planning Commission voted to approve a variance request that would allow an accessory structure to be located in the front yard of a 4.34-acre parcel owned by Tony Keller at 353 Oakway Drive.

Staff presented the application and noted the property’s size and visibility, telling the commission that “Chapter 59, article 16, section 59 dash 16 10 of the Stevens County Code of Ordinances requires accessory structures be permitted only inside or rear yards of a parcel, and thus a variance is being requested,” and recommended approval because the parcel is not viewable from the street or neighboring parcels. No members of the public spoke in favor or opposition during the public hearing for this item.

After brief questions from the commission, a motion to approve the variance was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. The commission’s action sends the approved recommendation forward as the formal outcome of the meeting.
