County OKs 3-foot setback variance for Oak Hill Trail addition

Fannin County Board of Commissioners · August 12, 2026

Summary

Fannin County commissioners approved a variance allowing an addition to be built 12 feet from the Oak Hill Trail property line where the regular setback is 15 feet, after a short discussion and voice vote.

The Fannin County Board of Commissioners approved a request allowing a residential addition to be built 12 feet from the Oak Hill Trail property line, a reduction from the board’s stated regular setback of 15 feet.

Under new business the chair described the application from Grace McGinn and noted she had submitted a letter of support. "I think our regular setback is 15 feet," the chair said while describing the standard requirement. A commissioner seconded the chair's motion to approve; the board approved the request by voice vote.

The transcript indicates a letter of support accompanied the variance request; the board did not record conditions or a detailed roll-call tally in the meeting record. The decision grants McGinn a 3-foot encroachment from the usual 15-foot setback for this particular addition.
