Board considers and moves to approve side-yard reduction at 328 Drexel Avenue
Summary
The board heard an application to reduce a side-yard setback from 10 to 5 feet at 328 Drexel Avenue; the applicant cited lot-width hardship, neighbors voiced support, and the board moved to approve the request consistent with submitted plans.
The Decatur zoning board reviewed an application for a side-yard setback reduction at 328 Drexel Avenue and moved to approve the request consistent with the submitted plans.
Applicant Ben Dahmer told the board the request stems from an R-60 lot with narrow frontage that limits options for an addition; he said neighbors have endorsed the proposal. Board members confirmed the addition is one story and that existing nonconforming aspects of the lot limit alternatives.
A motion to approve the reduction of the side-yard setback from 10 feet to 5 feet was made and seconded. The motion was moved consistent with the plan submitted with the variance application; the provided transcript excerpt contains the motion and second but does not include a recorded roll-call vote in this excerpt.
