Summary

A variance reducing the front yard setback from 30 to 20 feet for an amenity building in the Somerset at Riverbrook townhome development was approved 4-0, despite neighbors' requests for tabling and additional buffering.

The Planning Commission approved a variance for an amenity building in the Somerset at Riverbrook townhome development to reduce the front-yard setback from 30 feet to 20 feet. The development was rezoned in 2021; applicants said the variance is sought to accommodate topographical constraints and proximity to an internal road rather than Thompson Bridge Road.

Residents asked for a larger buffer and more information or to table the request pending road-widening plans; the applicant noted the development had prior approval and the application was to move an already-approved amenity building. Commissioners voted 4-0 to approve the variance. The meeting adjourned at 7:18 p.m.
