Board of Adjustment motion fails for special-use permit at 313 S. Gardner after no second
Summary
A Board of Adjustment motion to restore multifamily use and add a seventh apartment at 313 S. Gardner failed for lack of a second; the record lists the petitioner as Joshua Craig but the sworn testimony was recorded under the name Joshua Gibson. Council directed legal staff to review reapplication timing.
The Board of Adjustment hearing held during the council meeting on April 12 ended without approval for a special-use permit at 313 S. Gardner after the motion failed for lack of a second.
Town staff introduced the item as a special-use permit petition from Joshua Craig (Don Kei Meight Land Trust) to restore multifamily use and add a seventh apartment to a nonconforming structure. The record shows a person identified as Joshua Gibson was sworn and provided testimony seeking restoration of multifamily occupancy; board members discussed sewer-capacity concerns and the potential need for system upgrades.
A motion to approve the multi-family restoration was made (recorded as moved by Council Member Neal) but the motion did not receive a second and therefore failed. The board noted that legal review is required to determine whether and when the petitioner may reapply; in other business the council directed staff to update Dr. Craig on next steps and utility requirements.
Because the record lists both Joshua Craig (as petitioner) and a sworn speaker recorded as Joshua Gibson, staff were asked to clarify applicant identity and to advise the petitioner on sewer and permitting requirements before any reapplication.
