Jonesboro Road rezoning gets green light from Henry County board
Two lots fronting Jonesboro Road have been recommended for rezoning.
The Henry County Zoning Advisory Board voted Sept. 12 to recommend approval of a rezoning for two lots totaling 1.7 acres on Monticello Lane at Jonesboro Road, part of the Monticello subdivision.
The reason for the rezoning is that the lots cannot be developed under R-3, according to the applicant, because of the widening of Jonesboro Road that took place after the original 1988 rezoning that allowed the subdivision. However, they can comply with the R-2 (Sewer) zoning.
The Henry County Water Authority submitted a letter stating that whoever develops the lots would not be required to connect them to the sewer line because it is more than 200 feet away and the subdivision is not a new development.
