Summary

The board approved V-24-0011 to allow a rebuilt deck and pool cabana at 9450 Colony Trail to remain 6.5 feet into a 7.5-foot side-yard setback, with a required row of evergreens and inspection before final certificate of completion.

The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance (V-24-0011) for a deck and pool cabana at 9450 Colony Trail that encroaches 6.5 linear feet into a 7.5-foot side-yard setback.

Staff said the original deck and pergola were about 30 years old and that the new deck and cabana were rebuilt in the same general location, providing an improved structural design consistent with neighborhood character. The as-built area of nonconformance is 186 square feet.

The applicant, who gave his first name as Sean, told the board the new structure replaced a deteriorated pavilion and that he hired a contractor to finish the work once permits were required. No one spoke in opposition. Staff recommended approval with two conditions: (1) encroachment not to exceed the 6.5 linear feet as shown on the plans dated 09/30/2024, and (2) a row of evergreen trees at minimum 5 feet in height at planting be installed along the length of the encroachment and pass city inspection before issuance of a certificate of completion.

The board approved V-24-0011 as presented with staff conditions.
