Variance granted to add bedroom at 1514 West Ridge Drive; addition largely screened by fence
Summary
The ZBA approved a variance reducing the front yard setback from 25 feet to 10 feet for a 400‑square‑foot bedroom addition at 1514 West Ridge Drive; staff said the addition would be mostly hidden by an existing six‑foot wooden fence.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment on July 21 approved a variance to reduce the front‑yard setback from 25 feet to 10 feet for an addition at 1514 West Ridge Drive (case ZBA25060047).
Planning staff described the proposed roughly 400–406‑square‑foot addition as a bedroom with a walk‑in closet. The property is a corner lot; staff said the addition would be visible from Hawaii Drive but largely screened by an existing six‑foot wooden fence. Staff reported 47 notices were mailed, one returned in favor, and no returns opposed. An online letter of support was filed by Annette Perkins (1526 Paris Drive).
The applicant was not present in the hearing room; staff and a neighborhood supporter were recorded. The board voted to close and approve the variance 9–0.
Staff noted the case number had a typographical error on the printed agenda but confirmed the caption provided adequate public notice and that the board would correct the docket numbering in the record.
