Board approves small accessory-structure variance for Denny property

Wilson County Board of Zoning Appeals · August 20, 2026

Summary

The board granted a variance allowing a recently enlarged accessory structure (wellhouse) that sits three feet from the house at 6290 Mersboro Road to remain after renovation; staff had noted the remodeling removed grandfathered status and no permit was found.

The Wilson County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a 5-foot variance for an accessory structure that now sits 3 feet from the house at 6290 Mersboro Road following recent renovations. Staff said the wellhouse had been remodeled and enlarged, so it was no longer grandfathered and no permit was found, but the board considered the encroachment minor.

Applicant Joe Denny explained the renovation and said the wellhouse footprint was modest (he estimated 6-by-6 feet). The board voted to grant the variance and the applicant will proceed with any follow-up permits or compliance steps required by county staff.
