The full story
The Peters Township Zoning Hearing Board denied a request to reduce side and rear yard setbacks for an accessory shed at 153 Scenic Ridge Drive after deliberation and a roll-call vote. Staff described the structure as 256 square feet and explained that township zoning allows structures of 240 sq ft or less to meet a 5-foot setback standard; anything larger must meet the 15-foot side/rear setback or obtain a variance. The board's motion to deny was recorded in the minutes and the decision will be memorialized in a written order within 45 days.
