- Meeting Overview:
The Springfield (Union County) Zoning Board convened recently and discussed several applications, notably approving a lot coverage variance for a property on Shadow Lawn Drive, allowing the owners to build a patio instead of extending their building. Another decision involved approving a generator and shed placement for a corner property on Gregory Road.
The first major topic of the meeting was the application from the owners of 4 Shadow Lawn Drive, who sought a lot coverage variance to build a patio in their backyard. The applicants, Teresa Ivy-Jenkins and her partner, had previously appeared before the board in 2021 and received a variance for a larger building extension, which they decided not to pursue. Instead, they now wish to construct a permeable patio that includes a drywell to manage stormwater runoff. The board was satisfied with the stormwater management plans and approved the variance with the condition that the patio and drywell be built as described.
The second significant decision involved an application from John and Amy. The Lanes sought approval for a whole-house generator and to legalize an existing shed. Due to their property being on a corner lot, they needed variances for both structures. After confirming that the generator would be placed behind a fence and away from windows, and that it would comply with noise and operational hour ordinances, the board approved the application. Additionally, the shed, which had not been previously approved, was also legalized as it was fully fenced in and positioned in a way that minimized impact on neighbors.
In other matters, the board granted an adjournment for an application by Carst LLC DBA Autoland Toyota, rescheduling it to September 17, 2024, without requiring new public notice.
