A planned beauty salon received two variances from Wayne County’s Board of Zoning Appeals during a Jan. 9 meeting.
Tracy Glynn plans to build a 40-foot-by-60-foot pole barn for her salon at her Minneman Road home, which is zoned agricultural. Glynn needed a variance of use for the salon and a variance from development standards to reduce the front- and rear-yard setbacks for the building.
The property is long and narrow where Minneman Road bends; therefore, it’s impossible to fit the barn while meeting the required setbacks. The building will be near a farm field.
According to testimony, Glynn will work by herself with just one customer at a time in the salon.
BZA members unanimously approved both petitions.
A petition for a fireworks wholesale business on Esteb Road was tabled for the third consecutive month.
The variance-of-use petition by Gary William Wolff and Jesse Dean Wolff requests 12 shipping containers for fireworks storage at 4937 Esteb Road.
It originally appeared on the board’s November agenda; however, only four board members were present and one member was recused for being a neighbor. Three votes are required for any final action, so any 2-1 vote would have required re-hearing the petition with a fourth member. That situation recurred Jan. 9.
The Wolffs requested the petition be tabled from the December meeting. It is now scheduled to be heard during the Feb. 13 meeting.
