Planning commission approves variance for oversized garage at 3057 Bair Rd.
Summary
The Lower Burrell Planning Commission approved a variance allowing Cory Allen to build an oversized side-yard garage on map #17-06-00-0-049 in an R-1 zone, citing groundwater saturation behind the proposed home and equipment needs for maintaining 120+ acres.
The Lower Burrell Planning Commission voted Feb. 18 to support a variance permitting construction of an oversized garage in a side yard at 3057 Bair Rd.
The application, filed by Cory Allen for property identified as map #17-06-00-0-049 (zoned R-1), sought relief from local code sections §300-95 A.(1) (Accessory Buildings) and §300-101 B.(3) (Rear Structure Restrictions). Allen told the commission the land behind the planned location of his new home is saturated with groundwater and that his equipment for maintaining more than 120 acres would not fit in a 900-square-foot garage.
Chairman Ray Rieser moved to support the project and variance request; Katie Watson seconded the motion, which was recorded as approved in the meeting minutes. The minutes do not record individual vote tallies.
The file cites the two zoning code provisions referenced by the applicant. The record shows only that the commission supported the variance; no additional conditions or permit steps were specified in the minutes.
