SLUP-01-2026 — Timber reduction to firewood operation (tree service) in Cobb County, GA
This is a Special Land Use Permit (SLUP) for Dane Tree Service operations involving timber reduction to firewood at a Light Industrial-zoned property. The application requires compliance with a 40-foot natural buffer stipulation from a prior 1998 zoning hearing and must meet fire access, fire hydrant distance, and DOT requirements including deceleration lanes and curb/gutter replacement. Code enforcement has documented violations and the property owner has retained legal counsel to address buffer requirements and obtain an as-built survey.
