The Wayne Township Board of Zoning Appeals will hold a public hearing on Thursday, August 17, 2023, at 7:00 pm. at the Wayne Township Administration Building, 6050 N.

They currently have a detached garage that is over 200 square feet. If this variance were to be approved by the Board of Zoning Appeals, the structure could not be built until the two lots (the property with the house at 5337 Lytle Rd, and the vacant adjacent lot were combined into one lot—an accessory building cannot be built on a vacant lot- the proposed location is within the current vacant lot)
