Owner seeks reduced setbacks for 8x14 shed on irregular Wingate Lane lot; staff recommends approval
Summary
Marcus Ruggerio requested reductions to rear and side accessory-structure setbacks to allow an 8x14 shed at 1404 Wingate Lane. Staff said the lot shape and septic drain field constrain placement and recommended approval; no public speakers opposed the application.
County staff presented LDLVAR2025-44, a request to reduce accessory-structure setbacks from 7 feet to 3 feet (rear) and from 7 feet to 5 feet (side) for an 8-by-14 shed at 1404 Wingate Lane. Staff said the parcel is an irregular end-of-cul-de-sac lot in Wellington Green subdivision with septic/drain-field constraints that limit where accessory structures can be placed and noted the yard is screened by an opaque fence. The staff presenter said the owner purchased the property in 2014 and recommended approval.
The applicant, Marcus Ruggerio, confirmed the drain field restricts placement and said the homeowners association had approved the request. Staff noted a building permit application is in process (BR2025-688) and that the variance typically must precede final building permit approval. "Staff recommends approval," the presenter said, and the hearing officer closed public comment after no attendees spoke in favor or opposition.
No final on-the-record decision was recorded; the hearing officer said a written order will follow within the stated 14-day timeline.
