Danville board postpones variance request for 1037 Greenview to re‑advertise
Summary
The Board postponed consideration of a variance for 1037 Greenview Drive after staff and counsel recommended re‑advertising the application to correct property side details and avoid appeal risk. The applicant asked for time because of tenant and seasonal constraints.
The Danville Board of Adjustment postponed action on a request to reduce the side yard setback for a rear accessory structure at 1037 Greenview Drive so the application can be correctly advertised.
Planner Hannah told the board the applicant, listed in the record as Alfred (spelling varies in materials), is seeking to reduce the required five‑foot side yard setback to 2.5 feet on a 0.35‑acre R‑1A lot. During the staff presentation members and staff corrected an earlier misstatement of the property side and noted the agenda and staff report used different name spellings for the applicant.
Legal counsel advised the board to delay consideration so the notice can be reissued to prevent an appeal on the grounds of inadequate notice. Board members discussed the applicant’s desire to proceed before winter because the structure will be used by a tenant, but agreed that proper notice was the priority.
A motion to postpone the hearing until the next monthly meeting was made and seconded; the board voted to table the item. The board did not reach a substantive decision on the variance and will take the matter up again after the application is re‑advertised.
The next procedural step is for staff to re‑notice the item with the corrected property side and applicant name; the board will revisit the variance at the rescheduled hearing.
