Stephens Co. Commission To Meet Today

Stephens County Commissioners will meet later this morning for a regularly scheduled meeting.

The County Commission will meet at 8:30 a.m. in the second-floor courtroom of the historic Stephens County Courthouse in downtown Toccoa.

Commissioners will start with a planning and zoning public hearing with a request for a variance request on property setbacks for a property at 3070 Big A Road, which is currently zoned Commercial General Business District.

Following that public hearing, Stephens County Commissioners will hold a work session to discuss items on the business meeting agenda.

The variance request is also on the meeting agenda for discussion and a possible vote.

Other items on the business meeting agenda include consideration of a motion to purchase multiple dump trucks, consideration of a building code variance from ASI Southeast, and consideration of a motion to consider 2016 road proposal alternatives.

The business meeting, where the commission votes on agenda items, immediately follows the conclusion of the work session.

Today’s 8:30 a.m. Stephens County Commission meeting also allows time for public comment.
