Knize ADU at 34 Scenic View continued; TAHD approval and neighbor runoff concerns remain
Summary
The Commission continued the Special Exception for an accessory dwelling unit at 34 Scenic View Drive after applicants submitted amended plans but had not received updated TAHD approval; a neighbor emailed concerns about runoff and possible septic impacts and Commissioners asked staff to seek TAHD comment before May 4.
The Planning & Zoning Commission continued consideration of a Special Exception for an accessory dwelling unit at 34 Scenic View Drive on April 20, citing a pending health department approval and a neighbor’s runoff concerns.
Applicant W. Knize and owner V. Knize attended the continued hearing and provided amended ADU drawings from contractor M. Abbott. Chairman Bramley noted the modified plans had been given to TAHD, but B. Jacques had not provided updated approval to the applicants. An email from neighbor R. Spierto raised concerns that construction could produce excess water runoff onto his property and possibly compromise his septic system; Commissioner R. Lupo noted about a 10-foot elevation difference between the properties. The Commission confirmed the Inland Wetlands Commission (IWC) determined the application did not require wetlands review but left final action pending TAHD’s sign-off. The application was continued to the May 4 meeting so TAHD can provide comment and the applicant can supply any remaining documents.
No members of the public spoke during the in-person hearing. Commissioners suggested the applicants follow up with TAHD and noted neighbors may contact B. Jacques directly with questions about the pending approval.
