Posted May 10, 2021 10:00 AM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The City of Hutchinson's Planning Commission, Building Trades Board and Board of Zoning Appeals all have meetings scheduled for Tuesday.

The Building Trades Board will meet first at 4 p.m. in the City Council Conference Room. On its agenda is a pair of cases from Jim Strawn of Strawn Contracting to discuss revising Contractor License and Registration Requirements and a second case to discuss a change to the vapor barrier requirement under basement floor slabs.

The Board of Zoning Appeals will consider a case for a variance to construct a detached garage that projects in front of the front wall of the principal structure at 4812 Sequoia Street. If granted, the variance would honor the current zoning front yard setback requirement, but the building would project 5 feet nearer the front line than the front of the house. This variance, if granted, would

allow the garage/shop to be constructed near the existing concrete driveway. Appeals in similar previous cases have been denied. The meeting is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m.

The Planning Commission will look at the preliminary plat and final plat for 401 W 1st Avenue and 19 N Madison Street and a replat at 4509 Winged Foot Drive. That meeting also has a scheduled 5:30 p.m. start.

The Board of Zoning Appeals and the Planning Commission will meet in the City Council chambers. All meetings are at City Hall at 125 East Ave B.
