Summary

The Saginaw Zoning Board of Appeals approved three separate variances: setback relief at 403 Waller Street (J262871), a height variance for Menards at 1808 Veterans Memorial Parkway (J262876), and a front-yard variance for a Consumers Energy regulator station at 305 South 18th Street (J262877).

At its meeting the Saginaw Zoning Board of Appeals voted on and approved three variance requests.

Case J262871 (403 Waller Street) was approved to allow 13-foot front and rear setbacks where the zoning code requires 15 feet and 20 feet respectively; the board cited lot configuration and the existence of a curb cut on Hamilton Street. Case J262876 (1808 Veterans Memorial Parkway) granted a 21-foot height variance so Menards can install tall batching and bagging equipment in a 70'71-foot structure that steps down to 28 feet for non-equipment areas; Menards said the project represents "over $20,000,000" in investment. Case J262877 (305 South 18th Street) approved a front-yard setback variance so Consumers Energy can modernize a 74-year-old regulator station; the utility said construction is planned for September through November and that gas service will be maintained via temporary skid during work.

All three motions passed by roll-call vote with the board recording affirmative votes from Nash, Dawkins, Johnson and Chair Forbes. No formal amendments or conditions beyond standard permitting requirements were recorded at the meeting.

Summary of outcomes: J262871 — approved; J262876 — approved; J262877 — approved.
