Forest Acres Zoning Board approves two front-setback variances for Bagnal Drive porches
Summary
The Forest Acres Zoning Board of Appeals approved matching 10-foot variances to reduce front setbacks from 35 ft to 25 ft for porches at 3254 and 3258 Bagnal Drive. Approvals were 3–1 on each item after brief discussion; one board member opposed both.
The Forest Acres Zoning Board of Appeals on Feb. 9 approved two matching variances that reduce the front setback for porches at 3254 and 3258 Bagnal Drive from 35 feet to 25 feet.
Board member Jesse Smith moved to approve the variance for 3254 Bagnal Dr (TMS 14001-08-25); board member Will Owens seconded and the motion carried 3–1, with board member Shirley Fawley opposed. The board then approved the same 10-foot variance for the neighboring property at 3258 Bagnal Dr (TMS 14001-08-24) on a 3–1 vote with the same mover and seconder.
Property manager Felicia Lee, representing the owners and appearing before the board, said renovations are underway at each address and that the porch expansion would add to the symmetry of the homes. During discussion, board member Shirley Fawley asked whether the need for the expansion was purely aesthetic; Felicia Lee replied that the porch was part of the planned addition and intended to improve the homes' appearance once work is completed.
The two properties were presented together because they are side by side and owned by the same group, the record shows. The board approved the January 12, 2026 minutes earlier in the meeting by unanimous vote, and later voted unanimously to adjourn at 6:15 p.m.
No further conditions, permit timelines or appeals information were recorded in the minutes.
