Summary

Commissioners recommended approval for petition 2533 B allowing an accessory structure for John/Jeffrey Kral sited 75 feet from the referenced back feature — 25 feet closer than ordinance — noting drainage ditch and septic-field slope behind the lot and that the structure is for personal use.

Tazewell County Planning Commission recommended approval of petition 2533 B, a variance request for an accessory structure by John (or Jeffrey) Kral to sit 75 feet from the rear/ditch feature — 25 feet closer than the standard setback.

Commissioners reviewed site constraints: a large drainage ditch behind the property and a septic-field slope that runs to a creek at the rear. The petitioner stated the structure is for personal use and will not be rented or leased. Planning staff presented findings and commissioners discussed drainage and slope concerns in relation to siting the accessory building.

Commissioner Miller moved the petition onto the floor and Lastly seconded. The commission approved staff findings and the case by voice vote; recorded affirmative votes in the transcript include Eggert, Lastly, Miller and Cooney and Chairman (recorded as yes).

Commissioners noted the approval applies to the accessory structure as described; any change in use or additional development would be subject to zoning review and enforcement.
