Council approves variance for resident Tim Donaldson after public pleas
Summary
The council voted to approve a variance requested by resident Tim Donaldson for an addition to improve accessibility; public commenters including Brandon Hill and John Belcher urged prompt consideration for quality-of-life reasons.
After public comment in support, the council voted to approve a variance requested by resident Tim Donaldson to allow construction of an accessible addition to his home.
Tim Donaldson described needing a downstairs bedroom to improve daily living. Multiple residents, including Brandon Hill and John Belcher, asked the council to consider the request promptly to preserve Donaldson’s ability to remain in his home. Brandon Hill framed the request as a quality-of-life accommodation for a longtime community member.
Council member Susan Durlwacker moved to advance and approve the Donaldson variance so the family would not have to remain through the full sequence of presentations; the motion was seconded. A roll-call vote was taken and recorded as all in favor; the motion passed.
The ordinance/variance will proceed per staff and counsel process; the council did not detail any amendment conditions at the meeting.
