Board approves barn addition for Love property; presiding official recuses himself
Summary
A variance allowing a 20-by-88-foot addition onto an existing barn at 3150 North State Road 50 was approved; presiding official John Merson recused himself from consideration and explained the basis for recusal and concerns about variance filing fees.
Staff presented petition 26CE-14-159 for 3150 North State Road 50 (R1, ~4.25 acres) requesting a variance to increase accessory area to permit a 20-by-88-foot addition to an existing barn. TAC comments included potential septic-permit requirements if plumbing is added, surveyor and drainage comments, and the need to avoid construction in the floodplain without a flood-development permit. Staff recommended approval with conditions including addressing TAC comments and keeping construction out of the floodplain unless a permit is issued.
Presiding official John Merson stated he would recuse himself from consideration of this petition and explained that although the owners actively farm, the tract's legal recording meant the structure required a variance; he also raised a concern about the $600 filing fee for a variance. The applicant, Kim Love, provided the property address and had no additional comments. A motion to approve the petition as read carried on voice vote with the standard conditions noted.
