Applicant asks to postpone corner‑lot setback request for 701 Booker Street
Summary
The board granted an applicant request to postpone variance 15‑2026 for 701 Booker Street so the applicant can amend the application and combine additional setback relief; the motion to postpone carried unanimously.
The Board of Adjustment and Appeals agreed July 24 to postpone variance 15‑2026 for 701 Booker Street at the applicant's request so the applicant can amend plans and potentially consolidate multiple setback requests.
Staff had presented the advertised request seeking a 10‑foot side‑corner setback where 20 feet is required on a nonconforming corner lot. The staff presentation noted the submitted plot plan showed other potential issues (an interior sideyard of 9.81 ft where 10 ft is required and a 22.2‑ft rear yard where 25 ft is required) that were not part of the advertised application and would require additional variances and re‑advertisement if pursued.
Nearby resident Michael Jackson spoke during public comment to ask whether combining variances into a single application would reduce fees; staff explained additional fees and legal advertisement would still be required. The applicant asked for a postponement to revise the footprint or otherwise consolidate variances; the board approved the postponement unanimously on a motion and second.
Next steps: the applicant will decide how to proceed (revise footprint or file additional variances) and return for a future meeting after required advertising and fee payment.
