Board denies oversized accessory-structure variance for Bauer property
The board denied a request to allow a 2,400 sq ft metal accessory structure that would exceed size, height, and material compatibility limits for a 1,583 sq ft house; members cited proportionality, lot constraints and visibility.

Planning staff summarized a variance request at 10424 (redacted) Highway by Steven and Valerie Bauer to permit an accessory building larger than the ordinance’s 50% size limit, taller than the existing house, and constructed with metal siding rather than compatible exterior materials (Article 5). Staff noted the existing house is approximately 1,583 sq ft and the proposed accessory building would be about 2,400 sq ft; staff also showed photos and a topographic cross-section to explain visibility from the road.
