Henry County homeowner gets zoning board nod for greenhouse

A Henry County homeowner with a 20-year-old greenhouse in his front yard finally got a variance for it Sept. 9 from the Henry County Zoning Advisory Board. The homeowner said his recent application was motivated by a code enforcement complaint, and that he was told in 2001 that he did not need any kind of permit for the structure on his Kelleytown Road property, which is not in a subdivision. Typically such buildings must be in a side or back yard unless the property is more than three acres and zoned RA (residential agricultural).

The board went against staff’s recommendation of denial and approved the request with a condition to include screening shrubs. Information: henrycounty-ga.com.
