Board approves Camp Lurecrest setback variance to combine two lots for single-family home
Summary
The Lake Lure Board of Adjustment on June 23 approved variance ZV2026005 allowing Camp Lurecrest to combine two nonconforming lots and reduce the street-front setback from 35 to 28 feet and the lot-area requirement to 9,583 sq ft, citing septic and slope constraints.
The Town of Lake Lure Board of Adjustment voted June 23 to approve variance ZV2026005, permitting Camp Lurecrest to combine two legal but nonconforming lots at 158 Pleasant Circle and 0 Pleasant Circle and to reduce the street-front setback from 35 feet to 28 feet and the minimum lot area to 9,583 square feet.
Board members and staff cited site-specific physical constraints — notably limitations on septic-field placement, steep slopes and a required 15-foot setback from the peak of adjacent cut banks — as practical hardships that materially restrict the property's buildable area. Representatives for Camp Lurecrest (Rich Guthman and Dan Bragdon) told the Board the change aims to reduce overall development density while addressing workforce-housing needs and operational constraints.
The approval included a clear directive that the 28-foot setback be fixed and documented in the approved plans to ensure consistent interpretation and future compliance. Kathleen Hatfield moved the approval; Kimberly Sayles seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The action varies Section 36-70 of the Town's zoning ordinance for the parcels identified (PIN # 218450).
