Board approves small lot‑coverage and setback variances for pool‑house at 44 Pinehurst
Summary
The Board granted BA 2026‑08, allowing a pool‑house addition at 44 Pinehurst to increase lot coverage to 60% (from 50%) and accept reduced rear and side setbacks. Staff reported neighborhood support and the board found the lot configuration and adjacent golf course justified approval.
The Abilene Board of Adjustments approved BA 2026‑08, a variance permitting a pool‑house addition at 44 Pinehurst that increases lot coverage to 60% and reduces rear/side setbacks.
Planner Kira Boyse summarized the application, noting the notices sent within a 200‑foot buffer and that staff received four letters in favor and none in opposition. Boyse also stated staff found "there are no apparent conditions of the land within this property that create an undue hardship" but that the request "would not be injurious to neighboring properties or the public welfare."
Board discussion emphasized that the property backs to a golf course with no immediate backside neighbors and that similar lot configurations in the area have comparable coverage. Based on those conditions and neighborhood support, a motion to approve the variance carried on a roll call vote.
