Commission agrees to review corner‑lot side‑setback to 20 feet for homes and garages
Summary
The commission discussed Town code 15.6.4 E and indicated a preference to consider setting corner‑lot side setbacks to 20 feet for any part of a garage or home; staff will review section 15.6 for a potential code amendment.
During the commission’s discussion of the McPherson permit and related code questions, TC Liaison Sandy Hunter raised application and interpretation questions about Town code 15.6.4 E for corner lots. Commissioners reviewed how corner‑lot status could affect setbacks on several properties and discussed a pending subdivision where a lot could become a corner lot.
There was general agreement among commissioners that the side setback on a corner lot should be adjusted to 20 feet from the side property line for any part of a garage or home. The group instructed staff to review section 15.6 and bring options for code language changes back to the commission for consideration; no formal amendment or vote was taken at the April 17 meeting.
