Planner reports: BZA variance for Hammond House, home‑occupation exception and code‑enforcement totals
Summary
Planning staff reported a Board of Zoning Appeals variance for the Hammond House, a special exception for a home occupation, multiple certificates of zoning compliance and sign permits, removal of 208 illegal signs and towing of two abandoned vehicles; staff also noted progress on a traffic signal at Nobcon and Martintown.
At the commission’s March meeting, planning staff summarized administrative and enforcement actions taken since the last meeting, including decisions by the Board of Zoning Appeals and several code‑enforcement updates.
Mister Paradise reported that the BZA granted a variance allowing a barn at the Hammond House to exceed 50% of the main building’s gross floor area and also unanimously approved a special exception for a home occupation on Innswell Road. He said staff issued seven certificates of zoning compliance, approved four sign permits and assigned six new addresses.
Paradise also reported enforcement activity: staff removed 208 illegal signs from the public right of way and two abandoned vehicles were towed from private property. He described progress on the traffic signal installation at Nobcon and Martintown, saying the mast arm and signal hardware have been delivered and installation is a step in the right direction but the signal is not yet active.
Chair Christine Crawford thanked staff for the report. The items reported were informational; no formal commission action on these specific administrative items was recorded in the transcript.
