City of Sandy Springs Board of Appeals Meetings | 06-03-2026

The City of Sandy Springs Board of Appeals held a meeting on June 3, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request for a major residential accessory structure at 6565 Williamson Drive. The applicant sought relief from multiple setback requirements and height restrictions to build an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) intended to house family members. Staff recommended approval based on unique site constraints, including stream buffers and topography, which limited buildable areas. Several neighbors opposed the variance, citing concerns about environmental impact, privacy, noise, and lack of sufficient environmental studies. After discussion and applicant rebuttal, the board approved the variance with conditions limiting the structure's size and height. No other procurement or contracting matters were addressed during the meeting.
