The Wilson County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a 5‑foot setback variance for a property on Clark Drive so the owner can legalize existing structures and build a pole barn for vehicle storage.

Noel Harding, the applicant, told the board he sought a simple pole barn for parking his personal vehicles and presented a flood‑plain affidavit and septic letter. "Just a parking area for my vehicles," Harding said from the podium. Staff told the board the lot was created in 1986 and, because the variance concerns existing structures, staff could not recommend approval under the zoning ordinance language.

Board members asked whether the use was personal or commercial; Harding said he operated a single dump truck as a small business and was not creating a commercial yard. After questioning and closing public comment, a board member moved to approve the requested 5‑foot variance, a second was recorded, and the board voted by voice ('Aye'). The chair thanked the applicant and closed the item.

The approval allows the applicant to pursue a building permit to construct the pole barn and brings the property into compliance with setback requirements as articulated by the board.
