Board approves 12-foot variance for Meyer garage to enable accessible entry
Summary
The board granted a 12-foot variance from the State Highway 76 center-line setback so Tim and Kelly Meyer can attach a garage and create zero-entry access to their house for mobility reasons; state review of the site was noted.
County staff read notice that Timmy and Kelly Meyer applied to reduce a required setback for a proposed attached garage. The applicant, Tim Meyer, said the attachment is to provide handicap-accessible entry due to knee problems. Staff confirmed the state had been consulted prior to notification and that required septic and other standards would be met.
Commissioners asked whether the driveway or sight lines would change; staff said the existing driveway likely would not change and that state highway staff had reviewed the project. After reciting findings that practical difficulties and site constraints justify the minimum variance sought, the board moved, seconded and approved a 12-foot variance to meet required setbacks from State Highway 76 on a roll-call vote.
