Board approves reduced rear setback for storage building on Highway 52
Summary
The Board of Adjustment granted a setback variance for a mini-storage building, allowing a new 28-by-105-foot structure to be placed 13 feet from the rear property line, subject to survey accuracy and completion timeframe.
Jackson County’s Board of Adjustment on June 23 approved a special exception allowing a property owner to place a proposed storage building no closer than 13 feet to the rear property line in a C-1 district.
Applicant Brian (last name not specified in the record) presented site plans and a retracement survey and told the board he aimed to align the new 28-by-105-foot building with existing storage units so the site reads as a straight row along Highway 52. He said the building would be set behind a state-maintained tree-planting strip and would not obstruct sightlines or traffic.
Board members reviewed the public notice and concluded the application asked only for the setback relief (not for approval of building size). County staff said the county engineer reviewed sight distance and had no objection. The board asked whether the state or Army Corps of Engineers had responded; staff reported no replies were received.
The board closed the hearing, moved and seconded approval, and discussed timing. The applicant told the board he expected completion by September; he later confirmed completion by December if that is a condition. The board approved the variance and directed the applicant to complete any zoning permit application and submit required surveys.
The board advised the applicant to apply for permits online to speed processing. The recorded action was approved by voice vote.
