Board approves accessory‑building variances for Mad River Township property owner
Summary
The Board unanimously approved variances allowing an accessory building closer than 25 feet to a side parcel line and to be located on a parcel without a primary structure for property owner Jill Coates of Haddix Road; health and floodplain permits remain required.
The Clark County Board of Zoning Appeals on May 28 approved variances requested by Jill Coates to locate a residential accessory building closer to a side parcel line than the 25‑foot requirement and to allow an accessory building on a parcel without a primary structure.
Staff presented the .51‑acre parcels on Haddix Road in Mad River Township and noted floodplain issues that will require a floodplain development permit and coordination with the Health Department for site approval. Ms. Coates testified she had documentation she believed showed she was no longer in a flood district and that she had not realized the parcels could not be combined because they are in different taxing districts. Board members expressed no objection to the request and moved to approve the variances as presented (motion by Tom Duffee; seconded by Gerald Shaw). The vote was unanimous.
Staff told the applicant that required health and floodplain reviews remained necessary before construction. The Board’s approval permits the accessory structure configuration under the county zoning code but does not replace other required permits or site approvals.
