Board considers whether to rehear appeal over a Chatham Drive setback variance
Summary
An owner appealed a Zoning Board of Appeals denial of a rear setback variance at 614 Chatham Drive (request to reduce the setback from 25 feet to about 8.5 feet); staff said the structure was built without a permit and the board discussed whether to rehear the appeal.
The board considered whether to rehear an appeal of a Zoning Board of Appeals denial for variances at 614 Chatham Drive. Staff described an overhang or enclosed structure that encroaches into a 25-foot rear setback and said the applicant sought relief to allow the encroachment to remain. The zoning board had denied multiple requests; the applicant narrowed the appeal to the rear setback reduction to 8.5 feet.
Commissioners asked whether the structure had a permit and whether adjoining property owners opposed the encroachment. Staff said the structure was built without a permit and that opposition had been raised concerning operations at the site and truck deliveries along Chatham Drive. The board discussed common practice on rehearing appeals and whether to advertise a rehearing; no final rehearing decision was recorded at the meeting.
