Variance approved for Strutson Smith Lake addition with stormwater, buffer conditions
Summary
The commission approved variances allowing Eric and Patricia Strutson to add a second story and a small addition on Smith Lake, subject to a stormwater management plan, erosion control and an as‑built survey to confirm impervious limits.
The commission approved variances enabling Eric and Patricia Strutson to add a second story and a modest addition to their Smith Lake dwelling that would reduce the OHW setback from the required 100 feet to 45 feet and slightly reduce an east side yard setback. Staff noted the lot is in a long‑established plat with an existing nonconforming structure and that the property is served by the Garrison Sewer District (so septic compliance was not a concern).
Board members added conditions intended to protect water quality: a stormwater‑management plan, an erosion control plan during construction, a shoreline buffer to be agreed with staff, and an as‑built survey to confirm post‑construction pervious coverage under county limits. Those conditions will replace a prior variance from 2004 for the same parcel.
