After a public hearing with no public commenters, the Osage Beach Board of Aldermen approved Special Use Permit (SUP) case 415, allowing Chris and Sarah Brand to remodel and add an addition to an existing residence located in a commercial zone along the Wilson corridor.

City Planner Carrie Patterson described the property’s history as former resort cabins converted to residences and explained the project required two approvals: a variance from the Board of Zoning Adjustment because the proposed addition could not meet the 25-foot front setback (the home would be roughly 23.5 feet from the front property line), and the SUP to authorize residential use in a commercial district. Patterson said the BZA granted the variance at its Dec. 18 meeting and the Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation to approve the SUP.

No members of the public spoke during the hearing. Alderman Ross moved to close the hearing and later moved to approve the SUP; Alderman Hoffman seconded. The board voted by voice and the SUP was approved.
