Sandy Springs’ case register lists a Nov. 4, 2026, Board of Appeals hearing at 6 p.m. for a Hardeman Road sport-court variance deferred at the Aug. 5 public hearing. Case V-26-43 seeks exceptions allowing the court within setbacks and above the maximum lot coverage; the original staff report specifies the side and rear setbacks.[1][2]
The staff report says the court, a light and a light pole were built without permits in 2025. It places the site within the Nancy Creek Declared Sensitive Area, which requires twice as much stormwater mitigation. The November listing is a scheduled review of the request, not an approval.[1][2]
