Walsh seeks setback variance for 14x40 shed on Randy Drive; board accepts application and schedules site visit
Summary
An applicant identified as Walsh asked for a setback variance to place a 14‑by‑40 portable shed on Randy Drive; neighbors raised privacy and Airbnb‑related concerns. The board accepted the application, voted to proceed, and directed staff to perform a site walk before the next meeting.
The board heard from the applicant (identified in the record as Walsh) about a proposed outbuilding on Randy Drive. The applicant described the structure as “long” and “14 by 40,” saying the location was chosen to provide storage and to establish a side buffer given an existing fence and neighbor activity. “It’s it’s long. It’s 14 by 40. It’s a portable shed,” the applicant said.
Neighbors raised concerns about the shed’s proximity to the property line, the height and placement of an existing fence, impacts on Airbnb photographs and guest privacy, and access over a leach field. The board discussed balancing the applicant’s needs against community impact and accepted the application for review. A staff member moved to accept the application; the board recorded the motion as carrying unanimously (‘Motion carries a 4 I’). Staff (Kathy) will walk the site with the applicant and note any information missing from the record before the item returns to the board.
