Board OKs large barn addition and height variance for longtime Avon property owner
Summary
John Stockard received approval for a 4,652.20 sq. ft. barn addition (a 1,550.73 sq. ft. variance over the 3,101.47 sq. ft. limit) and a 3-foot height variance to 27 ft for equipment storage on his farm property at 4195 Stoney Ridge Road; area variance passed 4–0 with Chair abstaining.
Longtime property owner John Stockard told the Board he farms the rear of his property and needs a larger, enclosed barn to properly store equipment currently covered with tarps. Stockard requested a maximum-area variance of 1,550.73 square feet (proposing 4,652.20 sq. ft. where code allows 3,101.47 sq. ft.) and a 3-foot height variance to allow 27 feet where code allows 24 feet.
Board members discussed precedent and sightline concerns related to grade differences and ultimately approved both variances; the area and height approvals were recorded as 4 AYES and 1 abstention (Chair Mark Ladegaard abstained).
