Walworth County board denies setback variance for Timothy Hults in Delavan Township
Summary
The Walworth County Board of Adjustment denied a variance request from Timothy Hults on March 12, 2026, finding no unique property limitation or unnecessary hardship to justify a reduced street-yard setback for covered additions and stairs.
The Walworth County Board of Adjustment denied a variance sought by Delavan Township property owner and applicant Timothy Hults to reduce street-yard setbacks for covered additions and uncovered stairs.
Board members concluded the petitioner did not demonstrate a unique property limitation or an unnecessary hardship that would warrant the requested relief under the applicable zoning standards. The Town submitted one letter of support; no other letters of opposition are recorded in the minutes.
The minutes record that the motion to deny the variance was made by David Held and seconded by Vice-Chair Elizabeth Sukala and that the board’s decision was to deny the petition. The numeric vote tally in the minutes appears inconsistent with the textual decision (the minutes record the motion as “Motion carried. 0-favor, 3-opposed”); the board’s stated action in the minutes is denial. The decision means the applicant may pursue no construction inconsistent with the ordinance unless the board reconsiders the petition at a future hearing.
