Board grants variance for house renovation at 117 Vista Street with five staff conditions
The Lexington City Board of Adjustment approved variances requested by Stacy Chase for property at 117 Vista Street, allowing reduced side‑yard setbacks to permit renovation after storm and age‑related damage.

Chase told the board the house required significant repairs to become habitable for her family and that she intended to keep the property in character with the neighborhood. "When we got the property, it had substantial damage to it…we've had to make it functional, livable for my family," Chase said.

Planning staff recommended approval with five conditions. At the hearing Chase confirmed she had reviewed and agreed to those conditions. Board member Harry Clark moved for approval, and James Persley seconded. The board voted to approve the variance request; no roll call tally was recorded in the transcript.

The approved motion authorized a reduction of the required side yard from 8 feet to 2 feet and a reduction of the required corner side street yard from 30 feet to 1 foot for the single‑family residential property at 117 Vista Street, subject to the staff conditions listed in the staff report. The applicant must comply with all listed conditions and secure the necessary permits.
