Cass County board approves front-setback variance for accessory building at 21021 Ash Circle
Summary
The Cass County Board of Zoning Adjustments approved a request to reduce the required 25-foot front setback to 16 feet for an accessory building at 21021 Ash Circle in Belton after a staff report and no public opposition.
The Cass County Board of Zoning Adjustments on Sept. 10 approved a zoning variance allowing a 16-foot front setback for an accessory building at 21021 Ash Circle in Belton. The board voted in favor of zoning variance ZV28 with three votes for and none opposed among members present.
The variance was sought because the parcel is bordered on three sides by Rogue Furniture and the configuration of the lot limits where an accessory building could fit, a staff member said. "This lot they have, it's actually 3 sides of it is by Rogue Furniture. And the layout of the lot where the accessory building would be best fit is gonna be the setback lesser than 25 feet," Valerie, a staff member with the Cass County Codes and Zoning Department, said during the meeting.
Valerie told the board that the property owners had spoken with the adjacent neighbor and that neighbors indicated they were not opposed. The board opened a public comment period on the variance; no members of the public stepped forward. After closing public comment, the presiding official called for a vote; the motion carried with three votes in favor, zero opposed.
The board also approved minutes from its Sept. 3 meeting and then moved on to a separate variance request. No conditions, special requirements, or appeals process were discussed on the record during this item.
The decision allows the accessory building to be sited at the approved 16-foot front setback; the record does not specify who made or seconded the motion, nor does it include any written conditions attached to the approval.
