The Hall County Board of Commissioners took a hard pass on a rezone request for a Browns Bridge Road property that has been the site of alleged illegal dumping near Lake Lanier. With heaping complaints from neighbors and five citations from the Hall County Marshal’s Office stacked against him, commissioners unanimously shot down a request from Gary M. Chapman to change 4113, 4115 and 4117 Browns Bridge Road to the Highway-Business zone, which would have better accommodated his rolloff container and trucking business named Holy Rolloff based in metro Atlanta.
