Homeowner Scott Williams granted side-setback variance for detached garage
Summary
The Dawson County Planning Commission approved a variance allowing homeowner Scott Williams to reduce the required 10-foot side setback to 5 feet for a one-car detached garage at 64 Old Friendship Ln.; the commission cited septic constraints and approved the motion 4-0.
The Dawson County Planning Commission on Aug. 19 approved a request by homeowner Scott Williams to reduce the west side setback on his property at 64 Old Friendship Lane to allow construction of a one-car detached garage.
Williams told commissioners his lake lot is small and the placement of his septic tank and primary and backup field lines left limited building options; he requested a reduction from the required 10-foot side setback to allow the garage to sit no less than 5 feet from the west property line. No members of the public spoke for or against the request.
The commission closed the hearing with no concerns and approved the variance by a 4-0 vote (mover: John Maloney; second: Steve Sanvi). The property is zoned VCR (Vacation Cottage Restricted).
