Public hearing set for Sept. 10 on 3880 Beechmont Trail deck variance; planning commission recommends approval
Summary
A public hearing is scheduled for Sept. 10 on a variance request for 3880 Beechmont Trail to replace a deck in its existing footprint; planning and zoning unanimously recommended approval to council.
Mayor Klein announced a public hearing at 7 p.m. on Sept. 10 concerning a variance request for 3880 Beechmont Trail. The item concerns replacing a deteriorated deck and seeks a 3-foot, 6-inch variance to allow the replacement to remain in the current footprint.
Why it matters: The homeowner is requesting to replace an existing deck in the same location as the previous structure. Planning and zoning reviewed the request and voted unanimously to recommend council approval.
Details from planning and zoning: Councilwoman Kim Ulmer told the council that a prior homeowner had built the deck that encroaches on the property line and that the current homeowner did not place the original deck. Ulmer said the homeowners association (HOA) that owns adjacent green space does not oppose the request. She noted the variance request is for "3 foot 6 inch" and that the recorded distance from the property line referenced in staff materials is 6 feet 6 inches.
Procedure and status: Planning and zoning will forward its unanimous recommendation to council for consideration at the next meeting. The council will hold the public hearing Sept. 10 to take testimony before any formal council action.
Ending: The council advised residents interested in the matter to attend the Sept. 10 hearing to present comments and that the planning commission recommended approval.
