Board grants small setback variance for shed at 476 Minnie Street
Summary
A Vermilion homeowner received a pair of 3-foot side-yard setbacks to place a small backyard shed after the board concluded neighbors had been consulted and no safety code issues were found. The motion carried unanimously among members present.
Melissa Branch told the Board of Zoning Appeals she seeks a small side-yard variance at 476 Minnie Street to install a backyard shed on a narrow lot. Branch said she had spoken with the two adjacent neighbors and that a previous structure had stood on the site before she purchased the property.
Board members checked applicable residential fire-safety standards and discussed placement relative to neighboring structures. After a motion and second, the board approved the request, granting a 3-foot variance on each side to accommodate the shed. Branch was instructed to apply for the required building permit and ensure the installation meets applicable construction and fire-safety requirements.
The board’s action was recorded as granted by the three members present. No conditions beyond compliance with permit and code requirements were recorded.
