Planning commission forwards Bear Ridge Builders' addition at 15 East 100 North to town council
Summary
The Wallsburg Planning Commission voted to forward a proposed rear-corner addition by Bear Ridge Builders for 15 East 100 North to the town council after commissioners found no setback, height or septic compliance concerns and were provided a county-ready health-department letter.
The Wallsburg Planning Commission on Aug. 19 moved to forward an application from Bear Ridge Builders to the town council for a proposed addition at 15 East 100 North.
Builders said the project would add a master bedroom and bathroom and a small covered patio tucked into a corner of an existing, older house. The presenters said the addition will be lower than the home's existing peak and will not be visible from the road. "It shouldn't be any problem," said Hunter Park, one of the builders, describing a septic inspection and calculations done by a certified septic professional that, he said, showed the system would accommodate the work.
Commission members said setbacks and height restrictions appeared to be met and that no new utilities, irrigation work or tree removal are planned. After discussion, a member moved and another seconded that the commission forward the application to the town council for their review; the motion carried by voice vote. The commission noted the town council meets Sept. 4 and encouraged the applicants to attend in case council members have questions.
Commission staff said they would provide a letter applicants can use at the county to support their county permitting process. The commission did not take final building-permit action itself and instead referred the matter to the council, which will consider the council-level approval and any formal fees or conditions.
