Variance approved for 32x36 addition that sits 5 feet from accessory structures
Summary
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.
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).
A neighboring landowner spoke in support, saying the project would enhance property values. The board discussed practical difficulties related to site layout and septic/tile lines and approved the variance by motion with the staff‑recommended conditions.
