Owner wins approval to seek reduced rear-yard setback at 700 West Center Street
Summary
Council's Police Policy & Code Services Committee unanimously recommended, and the council placed on consent, a special-use request allowing a reduced rear-yard setback at 700 West Center Street to permit a deck and three-season room addition; staff said the zoning board had unanimously recommended approval.
The Police Policy & Code Services Committee reviewed a petition to permit a reduced rear-yard setback at 700 West Center Street to allow construction of a deck and a three-season room. Staff explained the house existed in its current condition at annexation and that the applicant seeks to expand an existing setback; the zoning board of appeals unanimously recommended approval and staff concurred.
The property owner spoke during the committee meeting and stated, "This is my property." Councilman Kozlowski closed committee discussion and the committee voted in favor; the item was placed on the council's consent agenda for final action. No public opposition was recorded in the transcript, and staff noted the proposal was comparable to a prior approval and consistent with code-history for the subdivision.
Staff emphasized the approval recommendation came after zoning-board review; committee members asked no substantive questions before voting. The council's placement of the matter on the consent agenda means final ordinance language will be adopted through the standard consent process.
