Applicant seeks variance to place tiny home inside 40‑foot front setback on VT‑106; board closes hearing
Kevin McCabe requested a variance to place a tiny home (classified as a mobile home) inside the 40‑foot front setback at 3250 VT‑106. Staff flagged steep rear slopes and wetlands; the board closed the hearing after a 4‑0 vote and noted that state water/wastewater permitting and further legal questions may apply.
The full story
Kevin McCabe, the applicant for parcel 07‑01‑26, told the Weathersfield Development Review Board he is the sole heir to the property and wants to place a single‑unit tiny home on the lot as a residence while using the existing building for accessory storage. Ryan Gumbart, the Land Use Administrator, said the application was processed as a permit for a mobile home under town regulations and was denied because the tiny home would not meet the 40‑foot front setback. Gumbart stated, "The front setback is required to be 40 feet."
