Planning board delays approval of garage replacement at 305 N. Gallatin until property survey is provided
Summary
The Hamilton Planning and Zoning Board voted to postpone action on a proposed garage replacement at 305 N. Gallatin after members said they needed a survey or survey stakes to confirm the garage footprint would be at least 3 feet from the property line; the neighbor had phoned in to discuss property-line questions.
The Hamilton Planning and Zoning Board voted to postpone approval of plans to replace the garage at 305 N. Gallatin until the homeowner provides a property survey or places survey stakes to confirm the garage footprint is at least 3 feet from the property line. The motion to postpone was made by board member Kevin Gubernatis and seconded by board member Sean Connelly; the board voted in favor.
During review of the submitted plans, the board told staff that a drawing must show the garage footprint positioned three feet off the property line before any approval is granted. The board discussed requiring a completed survey or visible survey stakes so staff and members can confirm the correct setback.
Van Dunham, identified in the minutes as the owner of the home north of the proposed garage, appeared by phone at approximately 5:59 p.m. and was asked about property lines; the minutes record that he left the meeting at about 6:03 p.m. The minutes do not include verbatim remarks from Van Dunham or a transcript of his responses.
The decision to postpone leaves the applicant to provide either a stamped survey or to mark survey stakes; the board did not set a specific date to revisit the item in the minutes. The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for June 2, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.
