The Davison County Board of Adjustment on April 8 unanimously approved a variance that will let property owner Curtis Wieczorek site a proposed shed about 50 feet from the south property line, reducing the minimum front-yard setback required in the Agricultural District from 75 feet to roughly 50 feet.
