Homewood BZA approves small rear setback variance for 105 Noelcrest Drive
Summary
On April 3, 2025 the Homewood Board of Zoning Adjustment granted a minor setback reduction (from 10.0 feet to 9.6 feet) at 105 Noelcrest Drive to permit a rear addition; board vote carried by majority.
The Board of Zoning Adjustment on April 3 approved a minor setback variance for 105 Noelcrest Drive to allow a rear addition. Owner Charlie Scott told the board the house currently sits 9.6 feet from the right‑side setback line and requested permission to continue that line for a small rear addition; the board approved the request by roll call.
Scott said the project would add a small office and enlarge the kitchen because his family is expecting a child. "We are expecting a second, and so I currently am in our guest bedroom and work from home, so trying to add up small office space and expand our kitchen," Scott said.
Board members asked about materials and whether extending the line would require full‑height wood siding to the ground at the measurement point; Scott said the rear contains brick at the bottom and wood above, and agreed the design will reflect the measurement from the closest point. No members of the public spoke for or against the request.
The motion to approve case SD250403 carried on roll call. The chair instructed the applicant to contact planner Emily Harris Miller to proceed with permitting.
