Beaufort County Zoning Board of Appeals October 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM

The Beaufort County Zoning Board of Appeals meeting was held October 22, 2026. The board approved an existing 10-by-12-foot shed with 10-foot rear and side setbacks, consistent with the county’s recommendation. The applicants said moving the shed would create difficulties because of the septic drain fields, slope, and landscaping; a nearby resident raised concerns that the shed obstructed a view of the pond. The board also considered the county’s request to reconsider a September 24 variance involving unpermitted concrete garden walls in a river buffer. After hearing the county’s and applicant’s arguments, including a dispute over whether the request was timely, the board went into executive session and then declined to reconsider its earlier decision.

Under new business, a motion was made and seconded to adopt the 2027 meeting calendar as published, but the transcript ends before a vote is recorded. No procurement, contract awards, or budget decisions were identified.
