Zoning Board of Appeals 7/16/2026

The City of South Fulton's Zoning Board of Appeals met on July 16, 2026, primarily to address zoning cases related to local development projects. Due to a lack of quorum, two cases (B26-003 and B26-004) were deferred to the next meeting on August 20, 2026. The board discussed case B26-004 concerning the repair and rebuilding of the breached dam at the Lake Charles subdivision, which is critical for stormwater management and flood control for downstream communities. The applicant presented detailed plans for the dam reconstruction, including safety and environmental considerations. Public comments were heard, with residents expressing support for the dam repair but also concerns about downstream flooding and communication issues regarding the project. The board approved the application V26-004 to proceed with the dam repair, including a permanent safety fence around the lake. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, but the approval supports future construction and development activities tied to the dam project.
