Applicant granted variance to consolidate two old storage buildings on Straw Floor Road
Summary
Chris Moore won approval to remove two dilapidated storage buildings and construct a single 40x60 residential storage building on a roughly 6-acre lot, with the applicant agreeing to demolish the old structures as a condition.
The planning board approved a variance for Chris Moore to remove two deteriorated storage buildings on a roughly six-acre lot on Straw Floor Road and replace them with a single 40-by-60 residential storage building used for personal equipment (boat, camper, lawn tractor). Moore said the lot is heavily screened by topography and surrounding cemetery property and offered to tear down the existing storage buildings as a condition of the variance.
Moore said the existing house on the lot will remain occupied under a life-lease arrangement and that when the occupant passes they intend to build a new home on the site. A board member moved to grant the variance, noting the site’s isolation and topography limit impacts on neighbors; the motion carried. Staff confirmed condition language will be added for demolition of the dilapidated structures.
