Resident seeks 25‑foot front setback for new garage; board schedules site visit
Summary
Tyler requested a conditional‑use permit to build a two‑car garage with a reduced front setback from 50 to 25 feet; the planning board asked for clearer survey dimensions and scheduled a site inspection to confirm the requested setback and review stormwater and driveway impacts.
Tyler appeared before the planning board seeking a conditional‑use permit for a two‑car garage and a reduced front setback from 50 to 25 feet in the Shoreland District. Chair and board members reviewed the submitted survey and asked Tyler to include an absolute measurement showing the proposed 25‑foot setback on the plan.
"Looking to get a reduced setback off the road from 50 to 25. And put a garage," Tyler told the board when introduced. Board members said the plan indicates a conditional 25‑foot setback in text but lacks a clear measured dimension next to the proposed garage; the board therefore scheduled a site visit so members could confirm exact conditions and measure the setback on site.
Because the project lies beyond 100 feet from the water per the submitted survey (survey by Joe Samery dated 03/09/2026), the Chair noted a PBR is not required for the development. The board will use the site visit to verify road setback, stormwater potential and whether any buffer or lighting controls are needed. The site visit was scheduled for the afternoon of the 23rd at a time the board will confirm by staff.
