Board grants depth-to-width variance for family lot split after surveyor error noted
Summary
The board approved BZA25-20 to allow a lot split that violates the depth-to-width ratio after applicant Duane Whitaker said a surveyor's calculation error created the need for variance; a motion granting 127.62 feet in excess passed by recorded vote.
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance on Aug. 21, 2025, to allow a lot split that does not meet Green's depth-to-width ratio rules.
Chair introduced BZA25-20, explaining the applicant seeks to split Parcel 2809988 into two lots (4428 and 4444 Mayfair Road). Duane Whitaker, who said he owns and will live on one lot while his daughter will build on the other, told the board the surveyor had missed a depth-to-width calculation and only corrected the mistake two days earlier.
Whitaker described the lots as deep and backing onto a golf course; he said the planning and zoning commission had given conditional approval to the split subject to the variance the BZA was now being asked to grant. On the record a board member moved to grant a variance described as 127.62 feet in excess of the lot size depth-to-width ratio for 4444 Mayfair Road; another member seconded and the motion passed with affirmative recorded votes.
The board's action clears the primary zoning obstacle noted on the record and allows the subdivision and subsequent building plans to proceed in coordination with planning staff and permit review.
