Del City panel approves variance to allow 10-foot walls for storage building at 4728 Gina Place
Summary
The Del City Board of Adjustment on April 13 approved a variance allowing exterior walls up to 10 feet—25% taller than allowed under local code—for a storage building at 4728 Gina Place after a staff recommendation and a brief board review.
The Del City Board of Adjustment on April 13 approved a building-code variance allowing a storage structure at 4728 Gina Place to have 10-foot exterior walls, exceeding the eight-foot limit in the city’s zoning code.
City staff presented the application during the meeting. Gina, the city staff member who delivered the report, said, “The applicant, Cornelius Harrison, is seeking a variance to allow for walls that are taller than 8 feet,” and recommended approval of building-code variance BABC 215-26.
The board asked whether the building would sit on a concrete slab and whether the project would require a drainage study. Gina told the board the building would be constructed on a concrete slab and that the city’s ordinances do not require a drainage study unless a project exceeds one acre. Board members also discussed how the submitted photograph made the structure appear shorter because of trees and the photo angle.
The board opened and then closed the public hearing on the application; no outside members of the public were recorded speaking on the matter. Following a motion and second, the board approved the variance by voice vote. Staff welcomed the applicant to the neighborhood after the approval.
The approval permits the applicant to proceed with permit applications consistent with the variance; building permits and any required inspections remain subject to city permitting processes.
