Board approves temporary living quarters in pole barn with 24-month construction condition
Summary
Brad and Jamie Dubois received board approval to construct a pole barn with attached living quarters at 11324 West 200 South on the condition that they start house construction within 24 months; the board noted no rental allowed and emphasized permitting requirements.
Brad and Jamie Dubois requested a variance to build a pole barn with attached living quarters at 11324 West 200 South in Westville to live in temporarily while they construct a new house.
At the hearing the Duboises said they planned to build the permanent house within about 12 to 24 months and that the living quarters would become a mother-in-law suite for family use after the house is complete. A board member cautioned that accessory structures commonly follow the dwelling and suggested the board place a time frame on the authorization.
The board discussed and then approved the petition with a condition requiring the applicants to begin construction of the house within 24 months. The chair emphasized that the attached apartment could not be used as a rental and would be for family use only when the house was finished.
The board recorded the motion, second and a voice vote in favor; members offered the applicants congratulations after the approval. The board noted applicants must secure any required permits and coordinate with the building department.
