During a recent meeting of the Board of Zoning and Building Code Appeals, a request for an area variance concerning the Valley Reserve Development was presented. The case, numbered 706, involves an appeal from the developer, Chris Coblenz, who is seeking permission to increase the number of lots from the permitted 58 to 59.

Dan Barsikowski, a civil engineer representing the project, affirmed the accuracy of the testimony provided to the board. The meeting began with the customary swearing-in of participants, ensuring that all statements made would be truthful and based on the best knowledge of the speakers.

The board confirmed that there was no correspondence from adjacent property owners regarding the case, nor any unsolicited reports. The zoning inspector outlined the city's position, indicating that the request for the variance was in accordance with the planned unit development regulations.

As the meeting progressed, the board members had no immediate questions for the city, and Barsikowski confirmed receipt of a letter from a concerned party, Mr. Coblorn, which had been previously discussed. The proceedings reflect a standard process in evaluating zoning variances, with the board poised to consider the implications of the proposed increase in lots for the Valley Reserve Development.
