Sheridan Commission OK’s Purdy Setback Variance

Sheridan County’s Commissioners have approved a request for a setback variance for Debra Purdy at 37 Whisper Lane in the Spirit Ridge Subdivision in Sheridan County.

According to the report from the Public Works Department, a 40×46 structure was recently built on the property without the required county building permit.

Once the applicant was informed of the need for a building permit, it was discovered that the 25-foot setback requirement could not be met as the building encroached 3.66 feet into the setback, requiring the variance.

County Planner Mark Reid discussed the issue further.

A public hearing was held on the issue where neighbors to the property spoke in favor of the variance.

After discussion by the commission, they voted to approve the setback variance.
