Planning commission approves side‑setback encroachment at 44 Hummingbird Lane
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a request by Ken Tyler to reduce side setbacks on parcel S-141-G-1-A (44 Hummingbird Lane) under Section 10-11B-7 to relocate a driveway and improve access; the approval was conditioned on findings that the criteria in Section 10-11B-7 had been met.
At its Jan. 21 meeting the Springdale Planning Commission approved a request to encroach into the side setback at 44 Hummingbird Lane (parcel S-141-G-1-A). Director of Community Development Thomas Dansie explained the commission was being asked only to consider the setback reduction; grading and other project approvals would be decided by staff.
Commissioner Paul Zimmerman moved to approve the encroachment "based on the following findings: 1. It satisfies the criteria of Section 10-11B-7." The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kashif Bhatti and passed unanimously with Chair Jennifer McCulloch joining the vote. Dansie noted the applicant reported having spoken with the adjacent property owner, and that the application write-up said the neighbor agreed; Dansie also said he had not independently verified that contact.
The applicant, identified in the record as Ken Tyler, seeks a setback reduction to relocate a driveway and preserve access after adjacent property development. The commission’s approval addresses only the setback variance; any grading permits, site plan approvals or construction permits will be subject to staff review and standard permit processes.
