Board denies variance request for shed at 903 River Rock Drive

May 8, 2025

At least five neighbor support letters were submitted for a proposed shed but the board denied the variance (4–0), citing inaccurate neighbor letters about building size and concerns about setting precedent for front‑yard accessory structures in the subdivision.

The full story

The board denied a request to reduce a recorded front setback from 35 feet to 14 feet at 903 River Rock Drive. Staff (speaker 3) said the property is in Coleman’s Bluff and noted a previously installed smaller shed at the same location; the owner, Diana Ballard (speaker 9), said moving the shed would require relocating a generator, air‑conditioning equipment and trees and that she had five direct neighbors' support letters.
