The Village of Mattawan Zoning Board of Appeals approved a variance July 13 allowing an accessory building to be erected in the front/side yard at 57200 Murray St. The board voted 6-0, with a motion by member Streeter and a second from member Begeman.
John Emmert, speaking during the public hearing, said the applicant revised the site plan to relocate the driveway to the side of a proposed addition rather than adding a curved entrance to the rear. Clerk Jolie Storm-Artis told the board that the village driveway ordinance allows one driveway on each road for corner lots, a provision the board considered when members asked about a second driveway on the parcel. The variance application was submitted by William Emmert and was discussed during the hearing before the vote.
In roll call on the approval, Begeman, Daniel, McLean, Monroe, Streeter and Stuut voted in favor, yielding a 6-0 outcome. The board recorded no abstentions or no votes. The action was recorded as a formal approval of the variance request for 57200 Murray St.; no conditions or amendments to the motion were noted in the minutes.
The hearing opened and closed the same evening; no further public objections were recorded. The board did not list a timeline for implementation in the minutes. Questions about building permits or inspections related to the accessory structure were not specified in the record.
