Commission denies Mitchell Lane setback variance for detached garage

Dan Anderson requested a variance to reduce the road setback for a two-car detached garage on Mitchell Lane from 50 feet to 25 feet; he said the proposed garage would be approximately 26.5 feet from the street and that a similar neighbor structure predates current setbacks. "The garage itself is 30 ft long, and that leaves me 26 and 1/2 ft from the furthest wall out to the street," Anderson said, explaining his design and sight-line photos.
