Zoning panel approves limited variance for deteriorating deck at 5704 Cove Circle

The Monona Zoning Board of Appeals on a voice vote approved a variance allowing property owners Valerie and Drew Cathers to replace and expand a nonconforming second‑floor deck at 5704 Cove Circle, with conditions that the deck’s new usable depth be limited to 8 feet (excluding stairs) and that a screened porch beneath the deck be allowed within the same footprint. The board recorded the motion and second and took a voice vote; the transcript does not list a roll‑call tally.
