Board approves variance to replace Delavan house with modest footprint adjustments
Summary
The Walworth County Board of Adjustment approved a variance Aug. 13 allowing Nicholas and Lisonbee Croucher to replace a residence and deck at 1604 Lincoln Ave., Delavan, making small footprint adjustments (3.8 ft and 4.2 ft from side lines and a deck 9.8 ft from the street yard).
The Board of Adjustment unanimously approved a variance allowing Nicholas and Lisonbee Croucher to replace an existing residence and deck at 1604 Lincoln Avenue in Delavan with a new structure that adjusts the footprint and deck encroachment by small increments.
Staff confirmed the town had approved the proposal. Board members described the request as a modest straightening of the existing footprint—"you're gaining some on one side and losing on the other"—and said the change represented a small increment rather than a substantive expansion. The board found no shoreland issues and that the request met the applicable criteria; a motion to approve passed on a unanimous voice vote.
Staff then ran through the criteria for uniqueness, hardship and public interest; members noted the lot size and the fact that currently usable second-floor space was minimal, which factored in the board's reasoning that the variance was appropriate.
