Board approves setback relief for Reed Road shop with 30-foot condition

Chair Gary Fury opened the discussion on Case 26-DA-02, a variance request for a proposed shop on Reed Road. The applicant said he needed to place a 30-by-40 shop off a side street on a corner lot because septic constraints, a steep drop-off and a mature tree line limited buildable area. "Right now, I'm asking for 25 feet from center line, which will give 15 feet from the edge of the road to the front of the shop," the applicant said during his presentation.
