Morningside Request Withdrawn From Full Commission Rezone Agenda
The owner of six lots in Morningside subdivision has said he no longer needs to violate the buffer on the lots. Event venue is on agenda.
Scout Construction LLC has decided it no longer wants Oconee County to grant it permission to violate the 40-foot buffers imposed in 2001 on six lots in Morningside subdivision on Hodges Mill Road.
Scout’s request for a modification of the 2001 rezone requirements is one of five major zoning issues on the agenda for the Oconee County Board of Commissioners meeting Tuesday night.
The Board will have to take official action to accept Scout’s request that its rezone modification application be withdrawn.

The Board also will consider a request for operation of an event venue with shops, a restaurant and boutique hotel on U.S. 78 near the Walton County line and for a new subdivision in the far south of the county at the Greene County line.
The Board also will consider requests to convert just under three acres on Mars Hill Road from agricultural use to commercial use and to convert a commercial lot adjoining the Belfair subdivision into a residential lot.

The Board meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. rather than the usual 6 p.m. so the Board can hold a hearing at 6 p.m. on its proposal to allow property taxes to increase as a result of inflation.
