Variance Approved for Zeigler Custom Homes Deck Near Locke Lake
Summary
The Silver Creek Township Planning & Zoning board on Jan. 7 approved a variance for Zeigler Custom Homes to build a deck partially within the Locke Lake setback; the motion passed 8–0 with one abstention after the applicant and a neighbor explained site constraints.
Chairman Chris Klein reported that Zeigler Custom Homes requested a variance to construct a new dwelling whose deck would be partially within the building setback from Locke Lake. Klein said moving the house toward the road would interfere with the septic system, a constraint cited in support of the request.
Neighbor James Lunde spoke in support of the application, saying the new house and deck are aligned with neighboring properties. Board members recorded no objections during discussion.
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. No conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The board addressed this item under the meeting's New Business section and then moved on to other lot-line and entitlement transfers later in the same meeting.
