Board hears two zoning variance requests: Coyle garage setback and Powell acreage split
Summary
Staff reported two variance requests — a reduced rear setback for a proposed garage in McGregor and a 2.77-acre acreage split off farmland — with zoning staff to advance the items to the appropriate review bodies.
County zoning staff briefed the Board of Supervisors on two zoning items on the agenda.
The first request involves Justin Coyle, who is seeking a reduction in the rear setback to place a garage for a new house proposed at 15142 Tenth Street, McGregor. Staff said the rear setback requirement is 100 feet and Coyle will ask for a reduction (staff said they will request 60–70 feet for the garage placement).
The second item concerns Nancy Powell, who proposes breaking off 2.77 acres from existing farmland to create an acreage lot. Staff said the variance request is below the five‑acre threshold they typically review and will proceed through the normal zoning process.
Staff also noted septic and addressing inspections are ongoing for some new rural construction as property owners prepare for winter. No formal board action on the variances was recorded in the transcript during the report segment; staff indicated the items will move forward in the zoning process.
