BZA grants near-identical lot reduction for home at 6105 Wallace Road
Summary
A second developmental variance to reduce minimum lot area to 4,000 sq ft for a single-family house at 6105 Wallace Road was approved unanimously; staff and the petitioner said the design mirrors the 6103 proposal and will use a raised crawl space to match adjacent elevations.
The Hammond BZA unanimously approved a developmental variance for 6105 Wallace Road that reduces the minimum lot area to 4,000 square feet to allow construction of a single-family residence consistent with nearby homes.
The petitioner said the house layout and square footage mirror the recent 6103 Wallace proposal and will feature a raised crawl space rather than a full basement to align first-floor elevations with neighboring properties. Staff reiterated the recommendation to approve the variance subject to design compatibility with the Pullman Standard Historic District and final technical plan approval.
The board accepted the staff report as amended and voted 5–0 to grant the variance. The petitioner must provide final building and site plans to the city for technical review before permits are issued.
