Zoning board approves variances for narrow lot on Colette Court
Summary
The board granted front and rear setback variances for Lot 43 within Linda Lake Subdivision (Colette Court) after the applicant described irregular lot geometry and promised to improve the private drive used for access.
The Horry County Zoning Board of Appeals approved variances to allow a single‑family home at Lot 43 in Linda Lake Subdivision (Colette Court) to be built closer to both the front and rear property lines than current code requires.
Staff noted the lot is irregular but meets the 10,000‑sq‑ft district minimum; the proposed home would be 12.5 ft from the front property line instead of the required 25 ft and 11.5 ft from the rear instead of the required 15 ft. Applicant Chris Nye told the board the lot’s shape and a private road configuration constrain placement and that the owners will improve and maintain the private drive. Board members asked about ownership of the private drive and lake access; Nye said the drive status is unclear after a title search but that they will improve it for access. After discussion, the board voted to approve the variances with staff’s standard conditions.
