Silver Creek Planning & Zoning approves lakeside deck variance for Zeigler Custom Homes, OKs lot-line adjustments
Summary
At its Jan. 7 meeting the Silver Creek Township Planning & Zoning body approved a variance allowing a deck to encroach within the setback at Locke Lake for Zeigler Custom Homes (one abstention) and approved two lot-line/entitlement transfers for Darryle Anderson. Motions to approve the agenda and past minutes also passed.
The Silver Creek Township Planning & Zoning body on Jan. 7 approved a variance for a proposed dwelling and deck at Locke Lake and approved two lot-line adjustments for a separate property owner.
Chairman Chris Klein said the Zeigler Custom Homes plan places the house in compliance but that the proposed deck would fall within the building setback from Locke Lake; he said moving the house toward the road would interfere with the septic system. A neighbor, James Lunde, was present and supported the variance request.
Member Tom Vanek moved to approve the variance; Member Mike Helman seconded. The motion carried with eight votes in favor and one abstention by Member Mark Egge.
The board also considered a lot-line adjustment and entitlement transfer requested by Darryle Anderson. Member Mike Helman moved to transfer one building entitlement from PID 216100264100 to PID 216100261403; Member Jesse Dickinson seconded and the motion carried unanimously, 9-0. Member Brandon Geyen then moved to reassign the portion of PID 216100252300 located southwest of the road to PID 216100264100; Member Justin Hall seconded and that motion also carried 9-0.
The meeting opened with Chairman Klein calling the session to order and Member Mike Helman moving to approve the agenda; Member Brandon Geyen seconded and the agenda passed 9-0. Member Justin Hall moved to approve the Oct. 1, 2024 minutes; Member Tom Vanek seconded and the minutes were approved 9-0.
In his report, Chairman Klein said a proposed Big Rigs development passed at the county level and that the approved plans include a turnaround at the westernmost Big Rigs entrance. The meeting concluded after Member Justin Hall moved to adjourn and Member Tom Vanek seconded.
Actions taken at the meeting were approvals of routine procedural items and site-specific land-use requests; no conditions, permit limits, or appeals were recorded in the meeting minutes.
