Milo council denies accessory building permit for vacant lot on East Olive Street
Summary
After an initial 2–2 impasse, the council voted to deny an accessory building permit for a vacant lot on East Olive Street, citing a Milo ordinance that disallows accessory buildings on vacant lots and advising the applicant of an appeal option to the Board of Adjustments.
The Milo City Council denied an accessory building permit application for a vacant lot at the end of East Olive Street on April 20, 2026, citing an ordinance that does not permit accessory structures on vacant lots. An initial motion to deny (moved by Councilmember Mason, seconded by Councilmember Rodgers) produced a 2–2 split — Mason and Rodgers voted in favor; Griggs and Amsden voted against — and the motion was described in the minutes as at an impasse. The council then reconsidered and a motion by Councilmember Amsden, seconded by Councilmember Mason, to deny the application passed by roll call.
The clerk explained that the city ordinance disallows accessory buildings on vacant lots; the council informed the applicant that the Board of Adjustments is the appropriate avenue for appeal if the applicant chooses to pursue that option. No further public comment was recorded.
