The Zoning Board of Adjustment dismissed an appeal filed by tenant Marian Curran challenging a zoning officer’s decision for property at 1703 Robinhood Road (Case Z2600153), ruling the appeal was not timely filed.

Senior Zoning Inspector Amy Lanier presented staff findings and asked the board to dismiss the case for failure to meet the filing deadline; the Deputy City Attorney summarized the notice of violation and relevant timeline. The board voted unanimously to go into a closed session to seek legal counsel, then returned and voted 6-0 to dismiss the appeal for failure to timely file.

Marian Curran was sworn and provided testimony in the public hearing before the closed session. The dismissal is procedural and relates to filing timelines rather than a determination on the underlying zoning merits.
