Summary
The board conditionally approved a variance to allow an eyebrow/overhang closer to the road for Carol and William Ellingson, but required a survey to confirm existing garage setback before finalizing the file. Staff noted the original garage may have been built contrary to an earlier variance.
The board conditionally approved variance 2026‑1 to allow an eyebrow-style overhang on the Ellingson garage, subject to a survey confirming the building's drip-line and setbacks. Staff presentation said the original garage "may have been built in violation of the variance hearing" and asked the board to make approval contingent on confirmed survey dimensions. A contractor/representative requested approval for the eyebrow and acknowledged that if survey results differ the petitioner might need to return to the board. The chair reflected that approval should be subject to a survey showing the correct setback and the board agreed to grant the eyebrow with that condition. Staff will reflect survey requirements on the result sheet and may require the petitioner to return if dimensions are incorrect.
