- Case 4354 (Dead Land / Haunted Woods): Approved a renewal extension to November 2030 (prior conditions to remain).
- Case 4355 (Williams): Approved an 11‑ft front‑setback variance; denied a 97‑sq‑ft variance for an ADU (to exceed 600 sq ft limit).
- Case 4356 (Christmas): Approved variances for a porch and existing home setbacks; excluded the accessory shed variances (shed must be moved or resolved).
- Case 4357 (Farley/Rose): Denied a 20‑ft rear yard variance for a proposed house (staff recommended).

- Case 4359 (Douglas): Applicant withdrew the case; withdrawal granted and reapplication without fee allowed within 90 days to pursue an exterior finish variance.
- Case 4360 (Comer): Approved relocation/variance to reflect previously grandfathered billboard setback (sign relocated to new parcel location).

- Case 4362 (Cedar Creek / Southern Marina): Renewed short‑term rental approval for three years with prior stipulations attached.

Several votes followed staff recommendations, while others reflected board judgment on hardship or plat history; public comment on environmental concerns (asphalt millings) and septic/stormwater capacity was recorded in multiple cases and may prompt follow‑up by county departments.

For details, applicants should consult the official minutes and staff reports; neighbors seeking further information may request case files from the Planning Department.
