Summary

Knox County board approved reducing the peripheral boundary from 35 to 16 feet at 1244 Arborbrook Drive after applicant Kevin McCagley presented neighbor non-opposition letters and said the change would allow a detached two-car garage with storage.

The Knox County zoning board approved a waiver to reduce the peripheral boundary at 1244 Arborbrook Drive from 35 feet to 16 feet to allow construction of a detached two-car garage with storage above.

Applicant Kevin McCagley told the board he needs the reduced setback because a conventional addition would prevent exiting his current garage; he said both adjacent neighbors and his homeowners association provided signed letters of non-opposition. Codes staff had no objections recorded in the hearing transcript.

A board member noted the item had been discussed at the agenda meeting and that a second home added in 2016 meant county records may list the parcel at 2.17 acres; if that recorded plat is correct, the applicant might not need a variance. The applicant affirmed he wanted approval; a board member moved to approve on behalf of an absent commissioner and the board approved the waiver by voice vote.

The transcript does not show further conditions or a schedule for permits or inspections related to the waiver.
