Summary

Randy Ingram received approval for a five-foot variance to build a garage at 240 Lake Circle after telling the commission the lot’s pie shape would otherwise place the garage in front of his house. The motion passed 3-0.

The Dawson County Planning Commission approved VA 25-22 on Nov. 18, allowing an accessory garage at 240 Lake Circle to sit five feet closer to the side property line than the 10-foot requirement.

Applicant Randy Ingram told the commission the lot is pie-shaped and that without the variance "the new garage would be located in front of his home." He said the adjacent property owner who shares the side line did not oppose the request.

The commission voted 3-0 to grant the variance (motion recorded as Hornsey/Sanvi). The property is Parcel L21 054 and zoned VCR (Vacation Cottage Restricted). No public opposition was recorded in the transcript, and the file did not show additional conditions discussed at the meeting.

The action relaxes Dawson County Land Development Code, Article III, Chapter 121-67(3)(d) for this accessory structure request.
