Summary of Request for Special Exception:
On August 19, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved a request to modify setbacks and
hours of operation at the Yancey Mills lumber yard. The approval included the following
condition (among others):
2. The owner must obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for all existing structures by
February 1, 2021. For any structure that is not issued a Certificate of Occupancy by
February 1, 2021 the owner must cease use of the structure until such time as a
Certificate of Occupancy is obtained.
On January 6, 2021 the Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to this condition to
require the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy by October 1, 2021 instead of February 1,
2021.
The applicant has requested that the condition be amended to require the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy by December 15, 2021 instead of October 1, 2021.

same as those approved on August 19, 2020, with a modification to the condition discussed
above.
