Board permits reduced setback for homeowner's addition at 1400 E. County Road 775 S

Delaware County Board of Zoning Appeals · August 27, 2026

Summary

Homeowner Patrick Eddington received a variance to build an addition for a laundry room and pantry; he told the board the house was built in 1969 and a reduced side setback is the least expensive and least disruptive option.

Patrick Eddington told the board he needed a reduced east‑side setback to add a laundry room and pantry to a 1969 house at 1400 E. County Road 775 S, citing topography and septic constraints that make other locations impractical. "The property to the west drops off into an area that I wouldn't want to build on," Eddington said, explaining alternatives would be significantly more expensive.

After asking clarifying questions about adjacent buildings and the reason for that placement, the board voted 5–0 to approve the variance and staff said certification of the approval would be provided so the applicant can apply for permits.
