Commission approves lot‑size and setback variances for Jerry Waters parcels
Summary
The commission approved multiple variances for parcels owned by Jerry Waters, including lot‑size reductions and a 2.7‑foot side‑yard setback variance for an existing building; staff characterized the building as a legal nonconforming use.
Stevens County staff recommended and the Planning Commission approved a pair of variance requests from Jerry Waters concerning two separate parcels: a lot‑size variance to create a 0.49‑acre residential tract where 1 acre is required, and a second request to create a 0.98‑acre commercial parcel plus a 2.7‑foot side‑yard setback variance where 10 feet is required.
Staff noted the 1977 building on the second parcel is a legal nonconforming structure and that the proposed lot configurations would meet the county’s intent for the parcels. No members of the public registered in favor or opposition for these items during the hearings; commissioners asked routine questions about parcel sizes and usage and then approved the recommendations. The approvals will be forwarded to the county commission for final action.
