ZBA defers two Enon Road floodplain variance cases to Dec. 18 after applicant requests more time

On Oct. 16 the South Fulton Zoning Board of Appeals deferred two related floodplain-variance cases involving property at 3415 Enon Road to the board's Dec. 18 meeting after the applicant requested additional time.

Staff read both cases into the record; one application sought a floodplain variance under Section 14.14015(a) and related standards to construct 22 multifamily dwellings, associated driveways and parking, two stormwater detention ponds, and utility infrastructure in a floodplain. Staff said it originally brought the matter as a denial for hearing purposes but recommended deferral at the applicant's request.

Applicant Fred Hill, who identified himself as the owner of a landscaping and nursery business at 3415 Enon Road, asked for a 60-day deferral so newly retained counsel, Henry Baylor of Clark Hill, could review project materials and advise the applicant. "This additional time will allow our attorney to get up to speed on the project, review all the materials that have been submitted, and help guide us," Hill said during the public hearing.

Board members asked procedural questions about timing and confirmed the board has a meeting scheduled for Dec. 18, 2025. A motion to defer each case to the Dec. 18 meeting was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the outcome as deferred. Staff recommended deferral for both connected cases.
