What this means now
The story
Cory Battle Sr. and Reva Battle sought a variance to Franklin County's Unified Development Code, Chapter 2 Section 2-302(b), to place a manufactured home on a +/- 0.23-acre tract at 173 Saint Michael Dr, Lavonia, in the Lakefront Residential zoning district. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the request 4-0.
At its April 7, 2025 regular meeting, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 to table the variance request rather than act on it immediately.
The board took the matter up again on May 5, 2025, when Commissioner Pulliam moved to table the request indefinitely; the motion carried 5-0.
On July 7, 2025, the board moved off the table and denied the variance. Commissioner Pulliam made the motion to deny, Commissioner Smith seconded, and the vote carried 5-0, ending the bid to place the manufactured home on the property.
