The Board of Zoning Appeals took three formal actions at its Sept. 24 meeting: the board approved the minutes from the April 16 meeting; it tabled Charles Parker’s variance application V260003 for 30 days so staff can obtain affirmative confirmation from adjacent owners; and it approved a motion to change the next scheduled meeting from Oct. 22 to Oct. 29, 2026.
The tabled variance was continued specifically to allow the zoning administrator and staff to reach out directly (by phone and mail) to adjacent owners Annie May Blackman and Amos Jones and to report back with a positive affirmation. The minutes approval and the date change were both carried by voice vote.
Summary of actions
• Minutes (April 16) — Motion to approve carried.
• Variance V260003 (Charles Parker) — Motion to table for one month pending active neighbor confirmation; carried.
• Meeting date change — Motion to move October meeting from Oct. 22 to Oct. 29, 2026; carried.
No dollar amounts or budget votes were taken at the meeting.
