Setbacks on Creek Road home sought

Gail Rugar appeared before the ZBA on Nov. 13 seeking a variance in order to construct a deck on the front of a single-family home at 516 Creek Road. The variance would change the front setback from 50 feet to 38 feet and the side yard setback from 25 feet to 18 feet. A setback restricts how close to a property line someone can build a permanent structure. At the meeting, which was also a public hearing, Rugar requested a change in her front setback request to 27 feet, which then required the public hearing to be continued to the Dec. 11 meeting.

Hall asked to change the application to request a 40-foot setback, which required the ZBA to continue the public hearing to the Dec. 11 meeting.
