Commission backs variance request to allow third home on large farm parcel

Stephens County Planning Commission · March 4, 2025

Summary

Commission recommended approval of a variance to permit a third principal structure on an approximately 19.75-acre agricultural residential parcel; the owner said the additional manufactured home will allow the family to care for elderly parents.

The Planning Commission recommended that the Board of Commissioners approve a variance allowing a third principal structure on a roughly 19.75-acre agricultural-residential parcel at 1410 South Yill Road.

Staff said that under the county ordinance (section 59-65) parcels two acres or more may have two homes by right and that a third home requires a variance; staff described the request as low intensity and "recommended approval as requested." Steven pleas, who spoke at the podium and gave his address, said the family wants to place a manufactured home so they can be closer to elderly parents: "we're just trying to get a little closer to them so that we can take care of them." The Planning Commission closed the public hearing, discussed the request, and approved a recommendation forwarding the variance to the Board of Commissioners for final action on March 25.

The Commission recorded no public opposition during the hearing.
