LDLVAR-2026-42 (Berens Accessory Structure)
Description
A variance to build a 30-by-50-foot, 1,500-square-foot accessory structure 115 percent larger than the primary home on a 0.98-acre non-conforming lot. Staff recommended approval with a residential-storage-only condition.
Impact summary
The structure would sit 144 feet from Marty Lane behind an existing shed, minimizing visibility, and would give the homeowners garage storage their house lacks.
