Commission approves reduced side‑setback for Old Town lot and replat for single‑family build
Summary
After a public hearing, commissioners approved a reduction of the side setback from 8 feet to 5 feet for Lot 7R in Old Town Cabot and later accepted the replat to combine two lots into one to build a single‑family home; Nick Tucker (Tucker Surveying) described the requested change as driven by an older double‑frontage lot configuration.
The board of adjustment and planning commission approved a side‑setback variance and associated replat for Lot 7R in the Old Town of Cabot.
Staff explained the request was to reduce the side setback from the required 8 feet to 5 feet for a double‑frontage lot on North Jackson and East Olive. Nick Tucker of Tucker Surveying said the owners had selected a floor plan and that without the variance they would have to redesign the home to be narrower. Commissioners asked about fire access and, finding no objection, approved the variance by roll call vote.
Following the variance, the commission approved a replat to consolidate two lots into one for the proposed single‑family home. Staff asked that a note recording the reduced side setback be placed on the replat prior to filing.
