The Board of Adjustments on Aug. 4 approved a variance for 513 Allgood Street that will allow an existing house built in 2024 to remain closer to the property lines than current code permits. Chelsea, reading the application record, said the home sits "2.81 feet from the rear side and 4.28 feet from the front side of the property line" and that "this applicant is requesting a variance from the 5 foot setback." The applicability was tied to Zoning Ordinance 14 of 2017.

After no members of the public spoke on the item and no further questions from commissioners, the board recorded a motion and second. Chair Jim Stillwell called the vote and confirmed "We have 7 yes. This item passes." The meeting record does not show a named mover or seconder; staff noted that city rules and DRC approvals were met. The approval permits the structure to remain as built subject to any conditions recorded in the final order.
