The Board addressed multiple variance requests. One request involved an encroachment for a large building on a residential lot, which was denied after the Board determined there was insufficient hardship. A second request concerned a variance from the minimum 40-acre parcel size requirement for a property owner seeking to build a primary dwelling and pole barn, noting that the parcel size fell below the threshold due to existing highway right-of-way boundaries.
