Rustic Diamond cabin setback variance

Stow

Summary

After four years of hearings, state appeals, and a land swap, the Cheatwoods just wanted to leave their cabin where it is — even though it sits on the property line. The neighboring landowner signed an easement and nobody objected, so the commission voted 4-1 to recommend approval.
