Tracy Purcell asks Beaver City Board of Adjustments for side‑setback variance for garage
Summary
At a Feb. 2 Beaver City Board of Adjustments meeting, resident Tracy Purcell requested permission to reduce the south‑side setback at 435 North 200 East from 8 feet to 5 feet to accommodate a double‑car garage; the board asked her to verify property lines with Beaver County mapping before taking further action.
Tracy Purcell asked the Beaver City Board of Adjustments on Feb. 2 to reduce the south‑side setback at her property, 435 North 200 East, from 8 feet to 5 feet so she can build a double‑car garage.
The request was presented at the Beaver City Center during the board's regular meeting. City Administrator Monte Hawkins reviewed the agenda item for the board. The applicant told the board the property had been surveyed 26 years earlier when the house was built.
Chairman Les Gale and other board members reviewed the property's alignment against Beaver County mapping and indicated they did not see a clear need for a variance based on the county layout. Chairman Les Gale suggested that Purcell speak with Kevin Whicker, the county employee who handles mapping, to verify property lines and the current county records.
Board Member Marilee Eyre moved that Purcell check her property lines with Beaver County; Board Member Bryan Harris seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. No formal variance was granted or denied at the meeting; the board left further action pending verification of property boundaries with county mapping.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved minutes from its July 1, 2025 meeting by unanimous vote. There were no conflicts of interest declared, no public comments on the variance, and the board adjourned at 5:30 p.m.
The board did not set a follow‑up date for revisiting the variance request; the matter remains pending additional verification with Beaver County mapping.
