05.01 Variance Extension Request

Home Browse Search

On October 17, 2019 the Board of Adjustment approved my Variance request related to my property located at 27713 Janco Lane. However, due to the timeframe of my Variance approval I as unable to move forward with my project because of the upcoming winter/spring months. In addition, the current COVID-19 pandemic situation throughout the United States has added to my project start-up delay. With that said, I formerly request a second extension for 12 months be approved by the Board of Adjustment. Please feel free to contact me if there are any questions.
