Board approves after-the-fact variance for roadside setback; applicant met precedent
Summary
An after-the-fact variance (2026-011) was granted for a house built 19 feet from the road (a 6-foot variance) after staff said similar roadside variances exist in the development and the board found the hardship demonstrated.
The board granted 2026 Variance 011, an after-the-fact variance for an existing residence measured 19 feet from the road where the non-lakefront roadside setback is 25 feet.
Staff explained the measurement error occurred because the setback was measured from the center of the road rather than the edge during construction; public notices were published and the lot aligns with other structures that previously received variances. The board read findings of fact citing hardship, and the motion passed by roll call.
