Beaverdam Board of Appeals approves parcel creation and street-yard accessory variance for Schoenberger property
Summary
The Beaverdam Board of Appeals unanimously granted David T. and Kimberly R. Schoenberger permission to create a parcel in the R‑1 district that would include an existing accessory building without a primary dwelling and to construct a new residence with an accessory building in the street yard at W8147 & W8149 County W.
The Town of Beaverdam Board of Appeals voted unanimously to grant appeals by David T. and Kimberly R. Schoenberger for property at W8147 & W8149 County W (parcel 004-1114-1511-003). The board approved both (a) creation of a parcel in the R‑1 district that would initially contain an accessory building without an existing primary dwelling and (b) construction of a new residence with an accessory building located in the street yard.
David T. Schoenberger spoke to the board by phone in support of the appeals, saying he wants to "keep the current driveway and not block anything visually." Land Use Administrator Dan Prunuske told the board there are currently no zoning violations and that the existing shop and house are zoned R‑1. Prunuske explained the town generally prohibits creation of parcels that contain only an outbuilding with no primary building and that accessory buildings are required to be located beside or behind the main building rather than in the street yard.
After hearing from the applicant and staff, Chairman Howard Bohl closed the public hearing. A motion to grant the Schoenberger appeals, moved by Sue Rechek and seconded by Alan Mannel, carried unanimously. The recorded board members present for the vote were Chairman Howard Bohl, Alan Mannel, Sue Rechek and Isaac Dornfeld.
The board did not record any conditions or written amendments on the record beyond the motion to grant the approval. The decision allows the applicants to proceed under the terms explained at the hearing; any permits or inspections required under town code will be processed through the Land Use Administrator's office.
