Silver Creek Township Planning & Zoning approves Zeigler deck variance, multiple lot-line adjustments
Summary
At its Jan. 7, 2025 meeting, the Silver Creek Township Planning & Zoning board approved a variance for Zeigler Custom Homes’ deck within the Locke Lake setback, and approved two lot-line entitlement moves for property owner Darryle Anderson; motions and vote tallies were recorded in the minutes.
The Silver Creek Township Planning & Zoning board approved a variance for Zeigler Custom Homes and two lot-line adjustments during its meeting on Jan. 7, 2025. The board also approved the meeting agenda and prior minutes, and heard a chair report on a county-level approval for a nearby development.
Chairman Chris Klein called the meeting to order and the board unanimously approved the agenda and the Oct. 1, 2024 minutes, each motion recorded 9-0. Klein later reported that the Big Rigs project passed at the county level and that the plans include a turnaround located at the first (west) Big Rigs entrance.
Under new business, Zeigler Custom Homes requested a variance to construct a new dwelling whose deck would be partially within the building setback from Locke Lake. Klein told the board that shifting the house toward the road would interfere with the septic system, a rationale offered in support of allowing the deck in its current location. Neighbor James Lunde spoke in support of the variance. Member Tom Vanek moved to approve the variance; Member Mike Helman seconded. The motion carried, recorded 8-0 with Member Mark Egge noted as abstaining.
The board also addressed a request from Darryle Anderson involving two parcel adjustments. Member Mike Helman moved, and Member Jesse Dickinson seconded, to move one building entitlement from PID 216100264100 to PID 216100261403; that motion carried, recorded 9-0. Separately, Member Brandon Geyen moved, and Member Justin Hall seconded, to transfer the portion of PID 216100252300 located southwest of the road to PID 216100264100; that motion likewise carried, recorded 9-0.
Member Justin Hall moved to adjourn the meeting and Member Tom Vanek seconded; the minutes record the motion and second but do not record a vote or result for the adjournment. The minutes list Clerk-Treasurer Alana Paumen and nine members as present, along with six guests.
The minutes provide no further procedural dates or next steps for appeals or permit issuance related to the approved variance and parcel moves.
