Board grants 8-inch setback variance for Glousman Road addition despite staff recommendation
Summary
Case Z2600214, an eight-inch variance request to reduce an RS9 left side setback at 1005 Glousman Road, was approved 6-0 even though staff recommended disapproval, noting the property could accommodate a compliant addition.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment approved an eight-inch variance (Case Z2600214) to allow a left-side setback of 6.3 feet for an addition at 1005 Glousman Road.
Staff presented the case and recommended disapproval, stating the subject property is large enough to accommodate a compliant addition and that the proposed design required the variance. Owner Vanessa Smith and her mother, Sherry Vincent, testified in support of the proposed addition. After board discussion, Mr. Forrest moved and Ms. Smith seconded approval; the motion passed unanimously, 6-0, "per plan on file."
The record shows staff had previously concluded the addition would not meet the RS9 one-side setback without relief, but the board exercised its discretion to grant the variance. Any building permits remain subject to standard plan review and inspections.
