Powell Variance Request
Description
The Powells sought to build a 30'x56' barn-style accessory building at 29'-10" tall on their ~3-acre historic farmstead, where the limit is 18 feet. The board denied it after finding no legally sufficient unnecessary hardship.
Impact summary
The Zoning Board of Appeals denied it on May 7, 2026.
A denied variance means the family can still build a barn up to 2,400 square feet but capped at 18 feet, keeping the neighborhood height standard intact.
