Summary
At the Oct. 22 hearing, staff described a property on Adams Lane near the golf course where the new owners reconfigured a driveway and installed a shed that breaches setback; the owner requested an extension and staff continued the case to Dec. 3, 2025, to observe progress.
Zoning staff told the hearing that a property on Adams Lane — a short city street near the golf course — was altered by a new owner who reconfigured the driveway and added a hammerhead and a shed that appears to breach the rear setback. The owner sought an extension, saying winter conditions make some work difficult, and staff said the owner is willing to move the shed but needs time.
Mr. Hall said that the driveway reconfiguration had been contentious because the owner’s contractor believed a permit was obtained, while staff records show different approvals; staff advised the owner to pursue the necessary zoning or building approvals. The zoning setback in the zone was described at the hearing as either 30 or 40 feet depending on measurement assumptions; staff said the correct calculation will require a survey.
Staff recommended, and the hearing officer agreed, to continue the matter to Dec. 3, 2025, and to expect progress on moving the shed and clarifying the driveway/curb-cut status. Staff cautioned that they did not want to extend the matter multiple times and sought visible progress before the next hearing.
