Cusseta‑Chattahoochee commission approves five conditional use permits after public hearings
Summary
After public hearings Feb. 24 and a called meeting Feb. 27, the unified commission unanimously approved five conditional use permits for properties across the county, subject to required plats, health-department clearance and permitting.
The Commission of the Unified Government of Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County unanimously approved five conditional use permits following public hearings held Feb. 24 and a called meeting Feb. 27. Motions to approve each permit passed without dissent; the decisions are conditional on plats, health‑department septic approvals and compliance with county zoning and building codes.
At the Feb. 27 called meeting the board recorded motions approving applications for 454 Old Louvale Road (Walter Miller), 201 Massey Road (Mia and Derico Countryman), 711 GA Highway 26 (Julie and Jerome Wooten), 109 Nelson Street (Sierra Smith) and 136 Patty Drive (Curtis Stroud Jr.). For example, the record states: "Conditional Use Permit for Walter Miller 454 Old Louvale Rd: Motion to approve, made by Commissioner Biddle, seconded by Commissioner Frost. The vote was unanimous." Each approval includes the requirement that applicants obtain any necessary permits and inspections before placement or construction of new homes.
Planning and Zoning had recommended approval for the applications, typically noting that applicants must meet health‑department and county ordinance requirements. At the public hearing, Planning & Zoning chairman Brent Ingersoll explained that one of the reasons some applications required CUPs was lot size or septic requirements tied to state law. Commissioners and applicants discussed timing, required advertising, and whether signs notifying neighbors had been posted within the prescribed timeframe.
The approvals do not waive later permitting steps. County staff and the commission said applicants must still submit plats when required, pass septic and health inspections, and obtain building and placement permits from county public works and code enforcement before occupancy.
