CLINTON — The DeWitt County Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) on Monday reviewed and approved a trio of cases.
First on the agenda was county resident David Donnelly, who applied for a variance to reduce the road frontage requirement in order to build a second home on property he owns.
Donnelly said he had an easement accessing the property and wanted to build a second home.
“It’s an in-law house is what I’m looking at for us to retire in,” Donnelly said.
Donnelly owns 20 acres that currently has a home built in 1910.
“It’s just a small house, so traffic shouldn’t be affected,” Donnelly said, referring to the planned new home.
He said his two neighbors had no objections to the new construction. His property is accessed by a lane on the south portion off of Kleemann Road. The lane would be extended to reach the new house.
ZBA members concluded the application met the necessary criteria. The board voted unanimously to approve Donnelly’s application.
