Board approves variance for covered patio in garden‑home subdivision
Summary
The Jefferson County Board of Zoning Adjustment granted a variance allowing construction of a covered patio 15 feet from the rear property line in a garden‑home subdivision, after staff and the homeowners association supported the request.
The Jefferson County Board of Zoning Adjustment on June 23 approved a variance that allows construction of a covered patio 15 feet from the rear property line instead of the 25 feet required by the zoning rules.
Case A‑25‑0017 involved a single‑family lot in an RG garden‑home subdivision. Staff recommended approval, noting similar approvals in nearby blocks and that the property to the south is an institutional church property.
Applicant Zach Burton said the project proposes to build up to the existing county drainage easement and that the homeowners association has approved the change. "We've already gotten approval from the HOA on this, and they support it and think it would be a good addition to the neighborhood," Burton told the board.
After a brief public hearing with no opposition, a board member moved to approve and another seconded. The motion passed and the variance was granted.
Staff presented basic lot data in the record: the lot is approximately 0.3 acres and is in an RG single‑family zone; the property and nearby blocks have received similar variances in the past. The board did not record a roll‑call vote in the transcript; the formal written decision and conditions, if any, will be issued in writing per the board's standard practice.
