Variance approved for attached garage at 2219 Graybill Road
Summary
The board unanimously approved a variance allowing an attached garage at 2219 Graybill Road that, combined with an existing shed, would exceed the accessory-area allowance by 500 square feet; the applicant cited storage costs as justification.
The Green Board of Zoning Appeals on June 17 granted a variance permitting an attached garage at 2219 Graybill Road that would exceed the municipality’s accessory-area limit by 500 square feet.
Appellant David Hart told the board he has lived at the address for about 13 years, stores vehicles and equipment offsite and wants to consolidate that storage into a new steel garage. Hart said he measured the vehicles (including a smaller RV) and that any smaller structure would not accommodate his needs. He also said he plans to move an existing wooden shed farther back on the lot so it will be behind the rear of the house.
Board members confirmed the garage would be accessed via an extended driveway and asked about the shed’s construction and relocation plan; Hart said the shed is an "Amish" waterproof wood structure he purchased previously. A motion to approve the variance was moved and seconded; a roll-call vote passed 5-0.
The variance application (BZA2025-14) was approved with a unanimous vote; no additional conditions were recorded in the hearing minutes.
