Summary

The Kootenai County commissioners approved Variance VAR25-0002 (Varley Lake House) after staff recommended approval and no public opposition was recorded.

Kootenai County commissioners voted unanimously to approve variance VAR25-0002, the Varley Lake House, during their Sept. 25 community development meeting.

Justice MacGeorge, planner with the Community Development Department, told commissioners the site is constrained but meets the criteria for variance approval and ‘‘does not seem like the variance will negatively interfere with the neighbors.’’ There was no public testimony opposing the variance during the hearing.

The motion to approve the variance passed on a recorded voice vote with Commissioner Eberlein, Commissioner Duncan and Chair Metari all voting aye.

Ending: With the variance approved, the board moved on to several ordinance hearings later in the meeting.
