Board postpones decision after tie vote on second-camper request at fire-damaged property
Summary
After a tie on a motion to deny, Stephens County commissioners voted to postpone a request to allow a second camper at 325 Fielddale Road so staff can gather more information; staff cited an ordinance limiting one camper per parcel and raised utility and disposal concerns.
The board postponed consideration of a request to allow a second camper at 325 Fielddale Road after debate and a tie on a motion to deny.
Staff said the county ordinance typically allows one camper per parcel and that approving a second camper would require an exception and consideration of utilities and disposal. Commissioners expressed sympathy for the homeowner but also requested clearer information about the cleanup and occupancy plan. With a denial motion tied, the chair opposed denial and the board instead voted to postpone to the next meeting pending additional information and staff outreach to the applicant.
Staff said the marshal could monitor the site if a second camper were temporarily allowed, and the board asked staff to return with more complete documentation before taking final action.
