The Ware County Board of Commissioners held a public hearing Nov. 11 on a request to rezone 1942 Hazel Street (parcel 051A04 041F) from R-50 (residential) to R-50 MH (residential mobile home) so the applicant can place a single‑wide manufactured home for his granddaughter.
Planning & Codes Assistant Director Dustin Minchew explained the applicant, Ronney Howell, seeks rezoning of the rear portion of the property; Minchew said part of the parcel is already zoned R-50 MH. Commissioner Timmy Lucas asked whether a recently passed ordinance affects the orientation of the home; Planning & Codes Director James Shubert confirmed the ordinance requires the mobile home to be set parallel to the road.
The county’s Planning Commission reviewed the request and recommended approval. Chairman Elmer Thrift asked for public comments in support of or in opposition to the rezoning and none were offered during the hearing. No commissioner comments were recorded during the public hearing.
Commissioner Timmy Lucas moved to adjourn the public hearing; Commissioner Jerry Pope seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The public hearing closed at 4:49 p.m. The rezoning request was added to the Regular Meeting agenda for future consideration; a proposed approval date was recorded as April 14, 2025.
The record lists Commissioners Sammy Hendricks, Leonard Burse, Timmy Lucas and Jerry Pope as present along with Chairman Elmer Thrift. Interim County Manager Melinda Brooks, Assistant County Attorney Jennifer Herzog and Deputy County Clerk Melissa Bennett were noted as staff present.
