Commission approves small rear-setback variance for Athens Boat Club dwelling
Summary
The planning commission approved a variance to reduce the rear setback so the homeowner can add a small bathroom; applicant said the lot and dwelling predate current codes and environmental health approved the change.
The Dawson County Planning Commission approved a rear-setback variance (VA 25-19) for a property in the Athens Boat Club subdivision to permit a small bathroom addition that would otherwise encroach into the current rear setback.
Applicant James Callis told the commission the dwelling and lot were built roughly 45 years ago and that he was adding an 8-by-5-foot bathroom that does not extend beyond the existing building footprint. He said Environmental Health has approved the project. No members of the public registered opposition.
A motion to approve the variance carried; the applicant may proceed to obtain the required permit and complete inspections.
