Approved Minutes June 1, 2022
Chair Boo asked if the variance request would impact the natural environment or ordinary high-
water line. Senior Planner Sommers answered no.
Chair Boo introduced the applicant, Owen Sweeney, Mom’s Design Build, who stated that the lot
is one of the more constrained lots that he had seen as a landscape designer.
Commissioner Oakley stated that he appreciated that the applicant talked with the adjacent
neighbors about the project and felt the request did meet the warrants for a variance because the
home is already within the setback, and that the porch is a minimal extension.
Motion was made by Commissioner Oakley, and seconded by Commissioner Olson, to
recommend approval of the request for the variance to the ordinary high water level setback to
allow construction of a three-season porch, subject to the supporting resolutions. With all
Commissioners voting in favor, the motion carried.
Adjournment
Chair Boo adjourned the meeting at 7:19 pm
