ABZA approves small rear-setback variance for Perry homeowner Anthony Schafer
Summary
The board approved a variance reducing the rear setback from 25 feet to 23 feet for a new attached deck at 588 Bearsden Lane after staff said the lot's shape and easements made the standard rear-line impractical.
The Area Board of Zoning Appeals voted unanimously June 24 to grant a variance to Anthony J. Schafer that reduces the required rear setback from 25 feet to 23 feet for a new attached deck at 588 Bearsden Lane in Perry.
Kristine Roehl, APC staff, showed site images and explained the lot is irregular with a 20-foot utility and drainage easement along the western line and a conservation easement on the north half; staff recommended approval. Schafer noted only a corner of the deck would intrude by less than 3 feet and said a screened-in porch would tie into the roof. The board recorded a 5-Yes to 0-No vote to approve the variance.
