Board approves bluff setback variance for Turner cabin reconstruction
Summary
The commission approved a bluff setback variance allowing Carl and Naomi Turner to reconstruct a cabin with a small addition and replace a failing foundation, with conditions to preserve bluff vegetation and submit BMPs, stormwater plans and as‑built surveys.
Commissioners approved a variance permitting Carl and Naomi Turner to reconstruct a 512 sq. ft. cabin with a 128 sq. ft. addition inside the Bluff Impact Zone on Crooked Lake, after staff described structural failure of the existing foundation and a design intended to preserve trees and roots. Staff said vegetation removal in the bluff is regulated and the applicant said the plan aims to preserve as many trees as possible while replacing the failing piles.
The board approved the variance with conditions requiring land‑use permitting, erosion and sediment controls, a stormwater plan and an as‑built certificate of survey. Board members emphasized bluff vegetation protections under the county ordinance.
