County staff brief board on shoreland height-measurement changes
Summary
Oneida County Planning and Zoning staff updated the Board of Adjustment on proposed zoning statute and ordinance amendments, including changes to how height is measured for structures beyond 75 feet of the ordinary high water mark; staff noted implications for permitting and enforcement.
County planning staff told the Board of Adjustment on June 18 that updates to zoning statutes and ordinances are under consideration, including a change to how structure height is measured for features beyond 75 feet of the ordinary high water mark. Karl Jennrich, Director of Planning and Zoning, "explained general process for Petition for Writ of Certiorari filings that appeal Board of Adjustment decisions," and Todd Troskey provided clarification about the proposed measurement approach.
Board members received the update as informational; no formal vote on ordinance text was taken at this meeting. Staff also flagged that measurement methodology changes could affect permit review and future variance applications along shorelines, but specific ordinance language and effective dates were not specified in the minutes.
