Commission recommends variance for Storm homestead split
Summary
Davison County planners recommended approval Aug. 4 of a variance to allow Ryan and Amy Storm to separate an old homestead (~7.153 acres) from surrounding agricultural acreage so their son can take ownership; multiple setback reductions were also approved as part of the recommendation.
The Davison County Planning Commission voted Aug. 4 to recommend approval of a variance requested by Ryan and Amy Storm to split an old homestead from surrounding agricultural land. The application would create a roughly 7.153-acre lot from an original ~17.847-acre tract in the Agricultural District (minimum lot size is 25 acres) and seeks several setback reductions: a front-yard setback reduction to 60 feet where 75 feet is required, a side-yard adjustment for grain bins to 20 feet where 50 feet is required, and a rear-yard reduction to about 2 feet for a shed where 50 feet is required. The applicants were present; Deputy Administrator Karen Wegleitner explained the purpose was to transfer ownership of the homestead to the applicants’ son.
Board members raised no objections and moved to recommend approval (motion by Lewis Bainbridge, seconded by Ray Gosmire). Roll-call as recorded showed ayes from Thiesse, Gosmire, Bainbridge and Anderson; three members were absent. The recommendation will go to the Board of Adjustment for final action.
