According to the plans submitted, you are requesting for the house to be constructed outside the existing footprint and envelope within the 50-foot vision triangle, as well as four parking stalls for a residence with 5 bedrooms. The Walworth County Code of Ordinances require any structures within the vision triangle can only be replaced in the same footprint and envelope, as well as require one parking stall per bedroom for a residence. Therefore, I must deny your permit application. You have the right to appeal my denial to the Walworth County Board of Adjustment within 30 (thirty) days of receiving this letter and request a variance to the requirements of the Ordinance. This variance may or may not be granted. Attached for convenience, is the Board of Adjustment variance request application. If the variance request is approved, an erosion control application and conservation plan will also need to be submitted. Additionally, when applying for County permits, it is recommended to contact the Town Inspector for information regarding local permit/variance requirements. If you have any questions or wish to discuss the matter further, please feel free to contact me or call our office for an appointment.
