Landlocked parcel owner seeks variance to gain road access with 60‑foot frontage

Nicholas Kaiser requested a variance (case 2541B) from the county code that requires 200 feet of road frontage for buildable lots in an A1 district. Kaiser said his 20‑acre parcel is landlocked and currently accessed by a 20‑foot easement; he described an agreement with an adjoining landowner to exchange land so his parcel would gain a 60‑foot strip to the road. He said his intent is to build a single‑family dwelling and that the parcel has existing electricity to the area.

Community development staff recommended approval and multiple county departments filed no objections; the state‑level Tri‑County planner information was not required for a variance case. Kaiser said the land swap will be recorded with deeds so future ownership and access are clear. He said his timeline was to start building next year pending permits, and that health‑department approvals for wells and septic will be required.

No board vote was recorded at the hearing. If the variance is granted, the location and recording of the new access strip and any subsequent parcel adjustments must be completed, including plats and deed records, before use as a legal building site.
