Appeals board denies RV park variance request
Sparks and her husband own Sparky's RV Lot on Happy Camper Drive in Jackson. The board denied their request to operate on existing acres, citing local minimum 5 acre rules in Aiken County. Sparks contends lack of awareness of the rule. The lot, at 3.6 acres, was forced to close after two citations. The couple bought the land in an Aiken County tax sale dating back years, but the sale was voided and the land deed remains unclear. If denied, Sparks cannot reapply for one year.
