A variance request for a large accessory structure on a two-acre residential site within a subdivision was granted by the Henry County Zoning Advisory Board at its Sept. 9 regular meeting. The applicant asked for relief from development standards for accessory structures in order to construct a 1,264-square-foot building with a lesser-than-usual side setback. The two lots in question are on Sea Shore Circle, off Snapping Shoals Road and just west of Hwy. 81. The motion to approve the variance included a recommendation from county staff that an existing fence remain in place on the property. The vote was 3-2. Information: henrycounty-ga.com.
