Planning staff describe change to how structure height is measured near water
Summary
Oneida County planning staff updated the Board of Adjustment on recent zoning ordinance changes, including a new method for measuring structure height beyond 75 feet from the ordinary high water mark. No formal vote was taken.
Karl Jennrich, Director of Planning and Zoning, and Todd Troskey, Assistant Director, briefed the board on updates to zoning statutes and proposed ordinance amendments at the June 18 meeting.
Mr. Troskey explained a specific change "to how height is measured for structures beyond 75 feet of the ordinary high water mark," clarifying how staff will interpret building height under the revised rule. The staff update was informational; the board received the briefing and no regulatory change or formal vote was taken at the meeting.
Board members asked clarifying questions during the discussion. The transcript records that staff characterized the change as an administrative clarification to measurement technique rather than a new permit approval policy. Any formal ordinance amendment or public-notice requirement was not adopted during this session.
