Motion passes. Okay.
003Um the case that we have before us tonight is case 25-1. Applicant is Scott and Sarah Baker. Scott's here. Okay. Um, this is our deliberation and voting uh, meeting. Um, and um, I'm going to read the request into the record here. The property address is 3170 Indian Lake Road. Partial ID is 05.31.426.012. Zoning is farms. The applicant is seeking a non-use dimensional variance for a 42x72 or a 324 foot square foot postframe accessory structure 200 ft and completely in the front yard. Structure begins 128 ft in front of the furthest furthest point of the main building. The variance request is from the Township of Addison Code of Ordinances, Appendix A, uh, zoning, uh, article 4, section 4.21.2B. B, an accessory building located in the R-E or S-E or S-F district shall meet the minimum yard
004setback requirements of the district in which the accessory building or structure is located and shall not be located in the front yard. Okay. Um, so as I said, this is our deliberation meeting. Um, if we have any more app, if the board has any questions of um, Mr. Baker, now's our time to do it >> or if Mr. Baker wants to say anything to us. >> I don't have anything additional head from last month, but >> Okay. I I have one question and that is and it's easier to look for people to get your drawing here. Uh, you said you had redone your lot line. >> Scott, if you could come up here. >> Yeah, you had redone your lot line so that this building would be totally on your property. Correct. >> Is was
005this at one time originally street? >> This is this is what you >> it out there. Okay, that's what I figured. Thank you. >> Any other questions by the board? Uh, alternates as well. Okay. Um, there's no other questions or thoughts or presentations to be made. >> I'll make a motion. >> We need a motion to approve or deny. >> I would like to make a motion to approve the request as uh as submitted. Um, I view the property and agree with the applicant that because of the top topography of the lot, um, it's virtually impossible to put something behind the house. It's just extremely extremely deep slope and uh and a creek and it's just there's no place to put a building behind the behind where you'd want to behind the house. So because
006of that um the applicant would be denied what other people enjoy being able to put up an accessory structure. Uh, and I saw the place that was staked out where he he's proposing to put it. And it appears to be um pretty well hidden from from anybody seeing it that's not on the lot. It didn't didn't appear to be um something that would be an eyesore at all or a problem. So, I I feel that we should approve the the uh the request as as requested. >> Um support for the motion. I'll second that. >> Okay. Um, we have a motion on the floor. Is there any discussion on the motion? >> Only one. And that is if we want to, we could add a statement to the motion that there is a utility easement
007about 50 ft behind the house that would add another complication to putting a barn behind his house. >> You want to make that part of the motion? Do we have We could add it. Good. It's another justification. >> Okay. I think we should add it. >> Okay. So, we need support for that addition. >> I support it. Yes. Okay. >> Okay. Good. >> Um, that being said, any more discussion or thoughts from the board? >> Okay. Mark Oliver. >> Okay. Okay. Um, if we could have a roll call vote on the motion, please. >> Chair, >> yes. >> J, >> yes. >> Okay. Motion passes. You've been granted your variance. um the building department will have to you'll have to reach out to them to get all the other necessary paperwork completed before you can
008start it. So we don't have any more control over it. So >> this was step one of the process. >> Yes. Exactly. Exactly. >> Fortunately somehow familiar with this is what I do. >> Oh, okay. Great. >> So you did this first instead of going and getting kicked back. >> Yeah. >> Yep. Okay. Great. So next agenda item is a public forum. If anybody in the public wants to address the board, now's their time. I see nobody here. >> Nobody's in the public. >> Um >> or public camera operator. >> Yeah. >> Yep. Okay. Doing the job. Um other business um first uh under other business would be correspondence received. Anybody receive any correspondence we want to bring forward? >> Okay. Not none here. Uh zoning board reports. Any reports? >> No reports. Okay. >>
009Well, Mark is going to be the liazison to the planning commission. Is that right? >> Uh or no? >> I'm not sure. They everything's been changing so fast I can't. >> Yes. That's the next. That's C. >> Yep. C. >> Oh, okay. >> So, we have the report of the planning commission leaison Mark. >> Before the planning commission right now is solar energy systems ordinance intended for production of solar energy only. use on the site in which it is situated. So it is not covering anything that would produce energy to be sold back to DTE or for transmission elsewhere only to be used on site. It will cover commercial, residential, all zoning in the township. And we had uh a long discussion Tuesday night about it first draft and we're bringing it back with some
010revisions to look at it again. So that is what is ongoing there. >> The only other uh I should make you aware of it is I am out of town at the next NBA trade show. >> The August >> that is August. >> Okay. I don't know if we have anything scheduled. >> There may not be an August meeting. >> Yeah. Let's see. >> So, but if there is, I won't be here. >> Okay. Good to know, Mark. Thank you. And welcome aboard. >> Yes. >> Okay. Um Okay. That next uh item would be adjournment of tonight's uh meeting. >> I make a motion we adjourn the meeting. >> Support. I'll second that. >> All in favor? >> I >> opposed. Hearing none. Motion passes. The meeting is adjourned.
