Board of Appeals approves modified decision on 835 Firewell variance
Summary
The Board of Appeals approved a revised draft decision on the variance request for 835 Firewell, clarifying that the village sanitary sewer runs along the rear of the home on the Maple Bluff, and adding a footnote naming the Dane County Circuit Court for appeals.
The Board of Appeals voted to accept a modified draft decision on the variance request for 835 Firewell, resolving wording about the rear-yard setback and the location of a village sanitary sewer pipe. A motion to accept the decision was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote with no opposition.
A board member said they "liked the changes in the redline version" but raised confusion about a sentence describing the sewer as running along the "front of their home," noting the driveway and front door face the road. The member proposed describing the pipe relative to the lake shore or the bluff to avoid ambiguity; members agreed and the text was revised to state the sewer pipe runs along the rear of the home. The draft also notes that the applicants "allege that their property is unique and it is on the bluff of Maple Bluff and it has a village sanitary sewer pipe running along the rear of their home."
Clerk Sarah confirmed procedural language was also clarified to specify the appeals process. After discussion, a motion to accept the modified decision was made and passed by voice vote. The board did not record individual vote tallies in the transcript; the motion passed with no members objecting.
