Applicant withdraws side-setback request for 641 Plank Road, says will resubmit front-setback plan
Summary
Ryan LeMay withdrew a previously advertised side-setback variance application for 641 Plank Road and told the board he intends to submit a new application for a smaller front-setback variance by June 12 for a July hearing.
Ryan LeMay told the Town of Walworth Zoning Board of Appeals on June 1 that he has worked with his builder to develop an alternative plan for 641 Plank Road that would require a front-setback variance rather than the previously proposed side addition advertised for public hearing.
Chairperson Michael Kunzer and Town Attorney Don Young advised that the board cannot approve a materially different plan without a new public hearing or readvertisement because the meeting’s notice had described the original side-setback proposal. Mr. LeMay said the builders considered the side option undeliverable and favored the front-setback alternative as a smaller variance. "If it came down to what decision to go with, it would be the front setback to be approved," Mr. LeMay said.
Given procedural requirements, Mr. LeMay formally withdrew the earlier application; town staff said a new application filed by June 12 could be scheduled for the July meeting. Board members said withdrawing and resubmitting a clean application is the preferable approach so the Building Department can review the revised plans and the public can be notified. No formal vote was taken on the matter; the withdrawal and next steps were recorded during the meeting’s discussion portion.
The board adjourned at 7:00 p.m. The LeMays will need to submit new plans and comply with public-notice requirements before the Zoning Board considers the front-setback variance.
