# BOA 11 10 26

The City of Snellville Board of Appeals meeting on November 11, 2026, considered BOA-26-05, a variance request for three existing, unpermitted accessory structures at 1851 Rockdale Circle. The applicant sought to retain a 2,175-square-foot social building, a pavilion, and a bathroom on a 4.95-acre residential lot, exceeding the applicable accessory-structure allowance. Staff explained the zoning limits and said permits would still be required; code-enforcement citations for construction without permits could also follow regardless of the variance outcome. Staff noted that commercial activity is prohibited in residential accessory structures, while the applicant said business-related equipment had been removed and the buildings were for family gatherings. Board members raised concerns about the construction’s permitting and inspection history, possible business use, and whether nearby owners had received notice. The applicant described the private investment as approximately $150,000 during discussion.

Members discussed possible conditions, inspection, and postponing consideration until December to allow further review, but the transcript ends before a motion or decision on the variance is recorded. No public procurement, contract award, or government spending action was identified.
