Neighbor supports Sterling Drive carport variance, citing minimal visual impact
Summary
A retired licensed residential builder who lives diagonally from the applicant told the BZA he supported the proposed carport at 668 Sterling Drive, saying the structure would not be objectionable from his standpoint and cited corner-lot differences in setbacks.
During public comment at the May 19 hearing, James H. Morris of 654 Sterling Drive — who identified himself as a retired licensed residential builder — spoke in favor of the applicant’s requested carport variance. Morris said he has no objection to the proposed structure as viewed from his property and noted corner-lot setbacks differ from other lots: “I don't see any problem from my standpoint that it's going to be something that I would not wanna get up every morning and look across and see.”
Morris also suggested that a different original siting of the house might have avoided the issue, but he told the board he did not see the proposed carport as detrimental to the street’s character. The board heard his support before closing the public hearing and entering deliberations.
