Board approves variance for enlarged accessory structure at 127 Prairie Ave.
Summary
Greg Wellman received approval for a variance to enlarge an accessory structure from 24x30 to 24x39 at 127 Prairie Ave.; he said the building is for personal storage, will have electric only, and staff recommended approval.
At the Aug. 11 session the board approved Appeal 26-31, granting a developmental variance that allows an oversized accessory structure at 127 Prairie Avenue in Mishawaka. The appellant, Greg Wellman, told the board he had previously been granted a variance for a 24-by-30 building and now seeks to extend it by nine feet to 24-by-39 for storage of personal items and family heirlooms.
"I just I added 9 feet to the the length of it because years ago, I had a variance to build a garage ... I'm not gonna do a 2 story garage, but I just wanted to make it a little bigger so I could get all my junk in there," Wellman said. He confirmed the building will have only electric service and no water or sewer connections. Staff told the board they had worked with Wellman and recommended approval.
With no speakers in opposition and no additional staff concerns, a board member moved to approve Appeal 26-31 and the motion carried by the recorded voice vote. The chair wished Wellman luck with the project and advised him to follow up with city staff for permitting.
