Board denies variance for deck that fell 8 feet short of road setback
Summary
The Adams County board denied William and Betty Wimmer's request for a reduced setback after finding the deck fails to meet the 83-foot road-center setback by eight feet; board members cited the construction without a permit as a self-created hardship.
The Adams County Zoning Board denied a variance request from William and Betty Wimmer for a deck at 3076 County Road A that sits eight feet inside the county's 83-foot road-center setback.
Rayna Slater introduced the application, describing the parcel and concluding that the addition "does not meet the 83 foot setback, by 8 feet." Board members questioned whether permits had been obtained before construction; staff confirmed no building permits had been issued and said permit issuance is contingent on the board's decision. One board member moved to deny the application, calling the claimed hardship "self-inflicted" because the structure was built without prior approval. The motion passed and staff recorded the application as denied.
