The story
Greg and Paula Bagley applied to rezone a parcel at 1191 Blair Road from Agriculture to Low Intensity. The Habersham County Planning Commission tabled the request twice, first in May until its June meeting, then again in June until August.
At its August 5 meeting, the Planning Commission voted 4-1 to approve the map amendment, Z-25-02, as submitted, recommending it to the county's Board of Commissioners.
The Board of Commissioners took up the rezoning of the 26.239-acre parcel, described in county records as the site of a proposed 17-lot subdivision, on August 18 but voted 5-0 to table its decision.
On September 15, the Board of Commissioners approved Map Amendment Z-25-02 with 19 conditions recommended by staff, by a 4-1 vote with Commissioner Harkness dissenting. In December, the Planning Commission approved a preliminary plat for the resulting 17-lot Blair Estates subdivision.
