Board approves variance allowing 40x48 accessory structure at State Road 26 with setback and storage limits
Summary
The zoning appeals board approved a variance for Pat Rodkey to build a 40x48 accessory structure with 8-foot setbacks from both property lines (where larger setbacks are normally required), conditioned on no outdoor storage and personal use only; neighbors had been consulted and staff recommended approval.
Staff presented application CCDash2026Dash00462 for Pat Rodkey (7879 State Road 26), seeking a variance to place a new 40‑by‑48‑foot accessory structure 8 feet from the north and south property lines instead of the ordinance setbacks. Staff said the lot is irregularly shaped, the prior structure formerly sat in a similar location, adjacent neighbors were consulted and raised no objection provided there is no outdoor storage, and staff recommended approval with conditions.
During discussion a board member suggested changing the condition language to prohibit "outdoor storage" rather than repeating "junk and debris," and the motion to approve per the staff findings (moved by a committee member and seconded) passed on roll call. The board recorded votes in favor and instructed staff to proceed with permitting steps; the approval is limited to personal/agricultural use and prohibits outdoor storage visible to neighbors.
