ZBA approves multiple residential and small‑business variances; vote summary
Summary
The Horry County zoning board approved several homeowner and small‑business variance requests (including a detached garage at Green Lake Drive, a landscape supply yard on Hwy 501 and several unpermitted accessory structures), while other items failed by tie votes or were denied.
Several routine and contested items on the Horry County ZBA docket were decided after public testimony and standard staff review.
The board approved a detached garage variance at 120 Green Lake Drive (applicant James Sharp) after the applicant agreed to move the structure 2.5 feet toward the driveway; the motion passed with a majority vote and the applicant was instructed to file adjusted plans. A bulk landscape supply operation proposed for two Highway 501 parcels (applicant Barry Cook) was approved with a condition that the variance applies only while both parcels remain under single ownership. Multiple requests to legalize unpermitted small accessory structures (including a 24x24 garage and several sheds) were approved with conditions where owners cited hardship, prior installation and remediation steps. One routine request — a screen enclosure at 6435 Chatterton Circle — resulted in a 4–4 tie and failed. Each approved project was conditioned on standard staff recommendations and, where relevant, site‑plan or stormwater review.
