City of Muskego, Zoning Board of Appeals - 10/22/26

The City of Muskego Zoning Board of Appeals met on October 22, 2026. The board considered Appeal 02-2026, a request by Ryan and Melissa Peterson for a 4.7-foot variance from the required front setback to construct an attached garage and home addition. The applicants cited the lot’s limited building envelope, lakefront location, and topography; city staff and board members discussed possible design changes that could meet the setback requirement and whether the claimed hardship met state standards for granting a variance.

The board voted unanimously to deny the variance, concluding that the applicants had not established the required hardship and that alternatives were available. The board also approved the minutes of its April 23, 2026 meeting and adjourned. No procurement, contract, or spending activity was identified.
