Board approves variance for garage within setback on Lake George
Craig Willis, applying for variance 59B25 on behalf of the property owner, told the board he seeks permission to construct a garage that would not meet standard side‑lot and road right‑of‑way setbacks on Lake George. The application cites local topography and wetland locations that constrain building sites.

Veronica and other board members recounted lot views and discussed a septic designer’s revised pressure bed. Veronica said the subject property "has challenging topography, 2 large wetland areas ... the rest of the lot is upland, largely covered by steep slopes," and concluded the proposed garage location was appropriate given site constraints.

Tim moved to approve 59B25, saying the garage "meets lake setback" and that an alternate septic site across the road would remain available for the lot. Veronica seconded and the board voted unanimously to grant the variance and adopt staff findings.

Board discussion stressed maintaining an alternate septic location and the need to avoid disturbing that area. No public commenters spoke on the item. The board adopted the staff report as part of its findings of fact when approving the variance.
