Greenville Board of Adjustment Meeting - December 22, 2017

On December 22, 2017, at 9:30 AM, the Greenville Board of Adjustment met to consider two special use permit applications and finalize a written decision on a prior administrative appeal. The board also approved a continuance for a third application due to notification issues.

Agenda Changes & Continuances

  • The board voted to move agenda item #3 (John Paul High School special use permit) to the top of the agenda. Staff then requested a continuance to the January 25, 2018 meeting, citing the need to mail proper written notices to property owners abutting all parcels involved in the school expansion. The applicant consented, and the board unanimously approved the continuance.

Public Hearings

  • Voting Members: Johnson, Winkler, Moretz, Glenn, Bellis, McKinnon, Godley (Faison excused due to late arrival).

  • Voting Members: Same as item #1.
  • Outcome: Unanimous approval with the recommended conditions.

Administrative Appeal – Written Decision
