Summary

The board approved variances that reduce the side-yard setback to as little as 1 foot and allow increased lot coverage for a 12x20 metal carport for Michael W. Smith, conditioned on a south-side gutter and limits on enclosure; motion passed unanimously.

The Ladd Village Board granted the variance requested by Michael W. Smith to permit a 12x20 metal carport with reduced side-yard setback (requested 1–2 feet) and increased lot coverage beyond the 40% maximum.

Zoning Board Chairman Jim Bernardi reported that Smith agreed to install a gutter on the south side to prevent roof water from draining onto the neighbor’s property and that only two sides of the carport may be enclosed; if plywood is used it must be painted for weather protection. Trustee Bernie Victor moved to grant the variances; Trustee Brad Nicholson seconded and the motion carried on a 6-0 vote.
