Notes and follow‑up instructions from the board and staff: - Many approvals require the petitioner to submit final site plans, building or grading permits and to comply with stormwater and septic requirements. Staff flagged several cases for follow‑up on impervious cover, Karst Conservancy areas, septic locations and driveway/Traffic Commission review. - For the DeWitt Child Care denial (CDU‑25‑4), the board directed planning staff to work with the owner on remediation and transition; legal counsel advised staff not to pursue enforcement action to close the facility prior to June 4, 2026 to allow time for the owner to pursue permits or relocation.
How to read the tally: where individual roll calls were read on the record the article lists names and votes; several motions were recorded with numeric tallies only.

— Ending: The board moved quickly through the remainder of the agenda after the major controversies; planning staff will track permitting follow‑up for approved items and will report back to the BZA on outstanding compliance items.
