Homeowner seeks variance for larger accessory building; applicant says structure is for personal storage and use
Summary
Kelly Simpson asked for a variance to construct a 5,616‑square‑foot accessory building in an R‑1 district, larger than ordinance limits. The applicant said the building is for personal belongings after moving homes; staff and board asked about setbacks, septic connections and drive access.
Kelly Simpson asked the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance to build a roughly 5,616‑square‑foot accessory structure on a residential lot on Ferry Boulevard, exceeding the allowed size by about 3,540 square feet. Simpson said the building would be for personal storage, would tie restroom water to the existing house septic, and that an entrance permit has been issued by the township road commissioner.
Board members reviewed site photos and a proposed building footprint (applicant said the final building will be 50 by 96 feet) and asked about trees and neighbor lines; the applicant said the driveway would curve around a tree and that a stake survey has identified property lines. County health staff noted wastewater connections must be routed correctly; the transcript shows no written opposition.
This is a class B variance and the Zoning Board has final authority; the transcript does not include a final vote outcome.
