Goose Creek Board of Zoning Appeals denies three variance requests for 408 Indigo Road
Summary
At its meeting, the Board approved minutes, denied three variance requests from the same applicant for area, height, and a side‑yard encroachment at 408 Indigo Road, and adjourned. The applicant acknowledged building without permits and said he would seek to modify the structure.
The City of Goose Creek Board of Zoning Appeals opened, approved minutes from the prior meeting, and considered three variance requests from applicant Jason Matthews for 408 Indigo Road: an area variance (requested increase from the permitted 820.5 sq ft to 929 sq ft), a height variance (approximately 10 inches), and a side‑yard setback reduction (from 5 ft to 3.5 ft). Staff relied on the applicant’s site survey for the measurements and presented the applicable Chapter 151 provisions.
Jason Matthews admitted he had not obtained permits for the work and asked the board to exclude certain porch/patio area from the accessory‑structure calculation and described site constraints related to lot geometry and driveway maneuvering. The board concluded the requests did not meet the variance criteria—particularly the requirement for extraordinary and exceptional conditions unique to the property—and denied all three requests. The meeting closed after brief final remarks and a motion to adjourn.
