The Salina Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance on Jan. 15 allowing the construction of a detached garage as a third accessory structure at 1318 South Marymount Road.

Planning staff introduced application B25-7 (filed by Sean Carlin on behalf of property owners Justin and Ashley Howie), describing the subject parcel as an unplatted, roughly 2.98-acre lot east of the Smoky Hill River and noting an existing 3,200–3,219-square-foot dwelling and two storage sheds already on the site. The proposed detached garage would measure roughly 24 by 32 feet and, if built, would raise total lot coverage from about 2.8% to roughly 3.4%, well under the RS district's 30% maximum.
