VAR 2025-018 — 128 Inwood Trail deck setback variance

Madison

Description

J.R.M. & Assoc. Inc. asked the Board to reduce the required south side yard setback at 128 Inwood Trail from 15 feet to 4 feet so a deck can be built closer to the lot line.

Impact summary

The Blairs get a level, accessible deck to their koi pond while the city keeps the utility easement clear — the pond itself remains an existing encroachment the city has not moved to address.

The contractor sought to rebuild a deck with a four-foot south side setback instead of the required 15 feet. The board approved it at six feet after working through the layout with the family to keep access to their koi pond.
