The Polk County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a special land use permit March 5 for an event venue and campground at 578 Tallapoosa Highway in Cedartown.
Commissioner Ray Carter moved to approve the application submitted by Jerome W. Bentley and Jody B. Smith; Commissioner Chuck Thaxton seconded. Planning and Zoning had recommended approval. An initial stipulation that would have required entrance improvements from Sewell Creek Road for any entrance located within 250 feet of Georgia Department of Transportation right-of-way was removed when Carter amended his motion; the amended motion carried without opposition.
Applicants Bentley and Smith attended the board's work session beforehand to answer questions, according to the meeting record. The board did not record additional site conditions beyond the removed stipulation.
The action was taken by roll call with all commissioners voting in favor. The permit allows use of Tax Parcel 026-038A as requested by the applicants.
