Accessory‑structure variance granted to allow 16x40 building in front yard
Summary
The Plan Commission heard a request to allow a 16‑by‑40 accessory structure to remain within the front yard at 1343 Jordan Road; staff recommended approval where the structure would not adversely affect the neighborhood, and the public hearing was closed before the commission moved forward.
Staff said Douglas and Donna Guest applied for a variance to allow a 16‑by‑40 accessory building to remain in a front yard, contrary to chapter 59 (article 16) which generally requires accessory buildings in rear or side yards. The structure sits about eight feet in front of the principal structure and the property is nearly four acres; staff noted substantial vegetative buffering to the adjacent parcel and recommended approval if there were no public‑safety or right‑of‑way concerns.
The public hearing for the item was opened and closed with no recorded opposition in the transcript. The commission proceeded to consider a motion on the item per meeting procedure.
