Longtime homeowner granted variance for small shed at 289 Kmart Drive
Summary
Sharon Muir, who has owned 289 Kmart Drive for 38 years, received approval to place an 8-by-8 shed in a side yard corner lot to clear garage space; board conditioned the approval on permits and limited the approval to the life of the shed.
Sharon Muir told the board she has owned her 1.5‑car‑garage property at 289 Kmart Drive for 38 years and needs an 8-by-8 shed so she can park her car in the garage. “I want to put clear out my garage so I can park in it,” Muir said.
Board members confirmed the shed will be prefab, placed on a crushed‑stone bed with no utilities, and that the applicant had spoken with neighbors who expressed no objections. A motion to approve the area variance for the shed — sited in the side yard of a corner lot where accessory structures are normally permitted only in rear yards — passed unanimously; the board limited approval to the life of the shed and required the applicant to obtain building permits.
