Zoning commission approves series of variances; tree removals tied to pool permit
Summary
The Zoning Commission approved several variances May 26, including a condition that trees slated for a future pool may not be removed until a pool permit is pulled; approvals were unanimous and a Costa subdivision item was postponed at the Planning Commission.
At the Zoning Commission meeting that followed the Planning Commission on May 26, commissioners approved a slate of variances, each by unanimous vote.
Key outcomes: - V26-04-07 (Stephanie Liffman): Approved with the condition that four trees proposed for removal for a future pool may not be removed until a pool permit is pulled. Planner Alex Weiner explained that removing one tree in the request changed the replacement-tree calculation.
- V26-05-10 (Richard and Casey Junot): Approved for a deck renovation with no tree removals, subject to the arborist's recommendations as incorporated into the motion.
- V26-05-12 (Tara Vail): Approved; the addition was presented as not impacting trees.
- V26-05-14 (William and Caroline Alquist): Approved; discussion noted fencing, an emailed public comment, and that fill would be limited to the coping around a pool.
- V26-05-15 (Shannon Anderson): Approved; commissioners found the proposed fence would not block sight lines and would cover a generator.
Several items were described as previously discussed in the Planning Commission portion; one application (Matthew Frank Costa, R26-05-02 / V26-05-13) was postponed at the Planning Commission. No public commenters spoke during the zoning items recorded in the transcript. The meeting adjourned at 6:52 p.m.
