Board approves two‑car garage and setback variance at 22746 Wharton Town Avenue
Summary
Applicant Barry J. Nielsen obtained board approval to build a two‑car garage with a minimum 5‑foot setback measured to the certified survey; the board will memorialize the decision on Aug. 26 and reminded the applicant to file for required permits.
Applicant Barry J. Nielsen told the board he seeks permission to build a two‑car garage at his property and said he relied on a certified property survey to measure setbacks.
"I'm hoping to get a garage after 28 years there," Nielsen said, describing a 23‑by‑24 foot two‑car garage and noting he plans limited electrical work (garage door opener) later and not immediate EV‑charging installations.
Board staff described the dimensional constraints (maximum garage area and height) and advised Nielsen to ensure the 5‑foot setback is held at the survey point because the lot angles. The board opened the public portion; no one spoke.
A motion to approve the application carried on a roll‑call vote with all voting members present voting yes. Chair said the approval will be memorialized at the Aug. 26 meeting and instructed Nielsen to follow standard permit office procedures to secure building permits.
Nielsen asked whether additional paperwork or permits were required; he was told to file the appropriate paperwork with the construction office when ready.
