BLUAC hears case for mechanic shop built out of zoning regs
The Bigfork Land Use Advisory committee voted 3-2 to recommend the approval of a conditional use permit for an after-the-fact home occupation mechanic shop on Aero Lane Thursday, Sept. 26.
The initial complaint was received from a neighbor to the property in 2023, which has been under investigation by the county as they communicated with the property owner Zachary Michnal on possible solutions until now.
Michnal informed the committee that he was unaware he needed a conditional use permit. Michnal purchased the home around 2018 and started to build the shop, which his business Next Level Mechanics runs out of, about two years ago. The land is zoned SAG-5 Suburban Agricultural, which requires a conditional use permit for home occupation businesses with outbuildings, vehicle traffic that exceeds 16 cars a day, or where more than one non-family employee will work.
