Board grants setback variances and sidewalk waiver for new home at 3406 Edgewater Drive
Summary
Sally Landau presented plans to tear down and rebuild at 3406 Edgewater Drive and asked for small side-yard setback variances and a waiver of a sidewalk requirement adjacent to a park. The board approved the variances and the sidewalk waiver after brief discussion of continuity and park adjacency.
Sally Landau told the Board on July 22 that she plans to tear down an existing house and build a new home at 3406 Edgewater Drive and requested a series of small setback variances and a waiver of a sidewalk requirement adjacent to a city park.
"We have plans to build a new home on our property," Landau said, adding the property borders a park on one side and Lake Erie on the north. She asked for side-yard variances of six inches on the east side and one inch on the west side, a front-yard variance to reduce the front yard from 30 feet to 20 feet, and a waiver of the sidewalk requirement.
Members of the board and administration discussed the sidewalk question, with one board member observing that requiring a sidewalk where the adjacent park lacks one could create discontinuity. The applicant said a continuous sidewalk would be preferable if it could be done as part of a coordinated project.
The board moved to approve the requested variances and to waive the sidewalk requirement; the motion carried in the recorded roll call. The applicant was thanked and the board closed the item.
The meeting adjourned at 6 p.m.; the board's next meeting was announced for Aug. 26, 2025.
