Board approves special exception and setback variance for storage expansion at 331 North 5th
Summary
Mark Van Beek received board approval for a special exception and setback variance to expand a storage building at 331 North 5th Avenue; neighbors raised parking and surfacing concerns but the board approved contingent on zoning review.
Mark Van Beek asked the Sheldon City Board of Adjustment for a special exception and a setback variance to add onto an existing 30‑by‑45 shed at 331 North 5th Avenue and to continue personal storage use.
Neighbors voiced concern about camper parking and the existing gravel parking area; board members noted the zoning code’s off‑street parking surfacing requirements and discussed whether the lot should be paved. The board clarified that approval of the special exception and variances would be contingent on rezoning and that two separate motions are customary: one for the special exception (use) and one for the setback variances.
Board members expressed trust in the owner’s stated intent to limit outside storage and to address parking concerns; the motion to approve the special exception and the variance(s) carried on roll call.
