Board approves conditional-use permit for Steele accessory structure after ownership discussion
Summary
The board approved a conditional use permit for a 40-by-60 accessory structure in Newry Township. Commissioners debated adding an ownership-change trigger for reevaluation; staff said the permit normally "runs with the land" and the amendment was ultimately withdrawn.
Environmental services staff presented a conditional-use permit by James and Mary Steele for a 40-by-60 standalone accessory structure in Section 34 of Newry Township; the planning commission had unanimously recommended approval and staff supported approval subject to conditions limiting the building to personal storage.
Commissioners debated an amendment that would require the permit to be re-evaluated if the property changed ownership. Staff (Trevor) said such a condition could be added but that conditional-use permits typically "run with the land" and ownership-change triggers are uncommon for this type of use; after discussion a commissioner rescinded the amendment motion and the board approved the resolution as originally written.
