Variance approved for 32x36 addition that sits 5 feet from accessory structures

Jul 29, 2026

The board approved a variance for Kurt Harrison to build a 32x36 addition that will be 5 feet from two accessory structures (required 10 feet), with staff requiring building-code measures including a firewall and any needed accessory‑structure modifications for fire protection.

The full story

Staff presented application CCDash2026Dash00510 for Kurt Harrison, who sought a variance to construct a 32x36 addition that would be 5 feet from two existing accessory structures rather than the 10‑foot setback. Staff noted the site is agricultural with about eight acres, that one accessory structure dates to 1900, and that a septic permit covers the proposed increase in bedrooms. Staff recommended approval subject to building‑code conditions (including a firewall along the new addition's south wall and accessory‑structure modifications to meet fire protection requirements).
