The Dawson County Board of Commissioners last week voted to deny two zoning requests that would potentially allow 272 age-targeted homes for seniors to be built on Hwy. 53 East near the Tractor Supply. The assembly room at the Dawson County Government Center erupted into applause Jan. 18 as the board denied the zoning requests, mirroring the celebration that came after a December 2016 vote by the commission to deny the same requests. This time, a different lawyer spoke for the owner of the two parcels of land in question, and didn’t waste any time telling the commission what would happen if they denied the requests. “With a denial of the application tonight, we have no choice...but to appeal the decision to the superior court in the form of a lawsuit,” said Joshua Scoggins of Cumming law firm Miles Hansford & Tallant in his opening statements to the board.
