Summary

The board approved a conditional-use permit for a home-based commercial bakery at 4930 Oak Valley Road; staff listed the applicant as Daniel Leverett, while the person who spoke at the podium identified himself as Daniel Everett.

Stephens County approved a conditional-use permit to allow a home-based commercial bakery at 4930 Oak Valley Road (Parcel 057029). Planning staff recommended approval for the property overall; the applicant intends to operate manufacturing on-site and deliver products to buyers rather than operate a storefront.

During the public hearing, staff clarified that approval granted is for the property, not a specific accessory-structure location; the applicant must later seek a variance to place a new accessory building in front of the house and obtain a building permit for that structure. At the podium the speaker gave his name and address as "Daniel Everett, 4930 Oak Valley Road" and said, "My wife wants to make cheesecakes and sell them." The record lists the application under the name "Daniel Leverett," creating an inconsistency in the transcript; the board closed the hearing with no opposition and later approved the conditional-use request.

Commissioners noted the expected next steps: an accessory-structure variance at the next meeting and required building permits before any relocation of operations.
