Avon BZA allows shed in drainage easement at 2223 Holly Lane with standard condition
Summary
Steven Mabe was granted permission to place a shed on a concrete pad within a 20-foot drainage easement at 2223 Holly Lane; Mabe said he has owned the home 36 years and reported no history of standing water in the easement; the board required the usual homeowner condition about removal/reinstallation costs.
Steven Mabe told the board he is the original owner of the house at 2223 Holly Lane and has lived there 36 years; he requested permission to locate a shed on a concrete pad within a 20-foot drainage easement at the rear of his property. Mabe said he had observed no standing water, flow, or flooding in the easement during his ownership and planned a typical shed foundation set on lumber over gravel to avoid an impervious obstruction.
Zoning Enforcement Officer Jill Clements noted the drainage easement appears on the recorded plat even if not shown on the plot plan; Chair Ladegaard advised Mr. Mabe of the board’s standard condition that homeowners are responsible for costs to remove and reinstall structures if access to the easement is later required. The board approved the shed placement on a motion by Chauncey Miller, seconded by Bill Hricovec; vote recorded as unanimous "AYES".
