Council grants petition of relief for undersized Gilmer Street lot so owner can rebuild
Summary
Council approved a petition of relief for a 5,115-sq.-ft. Gilmer Street lot that falls below the 6,000-sq.-ft. zoning minimum, allowing the owner to replace a demolished house and maintain existing street alignment with zero setbacks.
The council approved a petition of relief from Tony Neal to allow replacement of a house on a Gilmer Street parcel that measures 5,115 square feet, smaller than the zoning-required minimum of 6,000 square feet. Building Official Josh Kinnick told council the previous house had been torn down and the request would allow reconstruction without forcing Chisum Street to be moved into the owner's living space.
Kinnick explained staff recommended the setback relief so Chisum Street could remain where it is and the lot could continue as a single-family parcel; council members voted unanimously to grant the petition. The minutes record the motion was approved with no public comment on the item.
