Resident told notarized affidavit could avoid zoning hearing after permit denial
Summary
Resident Ryan Bentzel was advised that a notarized, recorded affidavit stating a second space is for personal use could eliminate the need for a Zoning Hearing after a permit denial for habitable space at 195 Pickett Road.
Resident Ryan Bentzel of 195 Pickett Road raised a building-permit denial related to habitable space in a second structure on his property, saying the space is for his personal use. Solicitor Sharon Myers told him that "if a notarized affidavit is done stating this use is not for a second dwelling, only personal use and recorded at the York County Court House, no Zoning Hearing would be needed." The transcript records that advice as the remedy suggested to avoid a zoning hearing requirement.
The minutes do not record whether Mr. Bentzel chose to prepare and record the affidavit or whether township staff provided further instructions. The solicitor's guidance was recorded verbatim in the meeting minutes; no formal waiver or alternative permit approval is documented in the transcript.
