Summary

Board members said the plan's table and the professional survey differ (14 vs 14.8 ft) and noted the public notice was for a 5-foot setback while the applicant may require 4.4 feet; the applicant agreed to verify survey math and the board explained renotice and deadlines.

During the hearing, members noted a discrepancy between the applicant's plan table (14 feet) and a professional survey showing 14.8 feet from the structure to the side property line. One board member said, "I think they are improperly noticed," noting the mailed notice described a 5-foot setback request while the actual required variance might be 4 feet, 4 inches.

The applicant acknowledged the discrepancy and said the design team would confirm the survey and plans; options discussed included small plan adjustments to avoid renotice or issuing a new mailing and delaying consideration to the May meeting. The chair and staff detailed the calendar: the submission deadline for revised materials is April 28, notices (if required) would be sent by May 8, and the next meeting is scheduled for May 19.
