Commission OKs setback reduction for Lingenfelter pole barn in Muddy Valley Subdivision
Summary
Williams County commissioners approved a variance reducing the front building setback from 50 feet to 27 feet for a 24-by-36 pole barn on Lot 4, Block 3, Muddy Valley Subdivision after Planning and Zoning recommended approval 7–0.
Williams County commissioners on Jan. 7 approved a variance request to reduce the required front setback for a pole barn in the Muddy Valley Subdivision.
Planning and Zoning staff presented application LU-0088-24 from Travis and Lainie Lingenfelter seeking a reduction in the urban residential front building setback from 50 feet to 27 feet to accommodate a proposed 24-by-36 pole barn on Lot 4, Block 3, Muddy Valley Subdivision (Section 5, Stoney Creek Township). Planning and Zoning recommended approval 7–0 at its Dec. 19 hearing. No township comments had been received on the application.
The commission moved to approve the request; the roll-call vote was unanimous in favor (yes: Chris; Steve; Corey; Bo; Barry) and the motion carried. Commission minutes and staff notes list this as a setback variance tied to a building permit for a storage pole barn. The county indicated the variance did not qualify for the county administrative process because the requested reduction exceeded the 25% allowance for administrative setback reductions under county rules.
