ZBA grants area variance for north lot after board review of neighbor proximity
Summary
The board approved an area variance involving a north property (referred to as "Sylvia" in testimony) after members reviewed distances to neighboring houses and applied the five statutory factors, finding the benefits outweighed the detriments.
The Zoning Board of Appeals approved an area variance for a north-side lot after discussion about the proximity of neighboring houses and measurement details.
During the hearing the board and members of the public noted that several houses along the road sit close together; the applicant or representative confirmed a measured distance of about 42 feet for the request under discussion. The board reviewed the statutory five-factor test, expressed concern about environmental or neighborhood impacts, then concluded the requested variance provided benefits that outweighed detriment to the neighborhood.
By roll call the board approved the variance. Staff will prepare the decision and provide the applicant with instructions on conditions and any required follow-up.
