Neighbors back Wallaby Drive pool; board notes written support

Board of Zoning Appeals, City of Beavercreek · September 9, 2026

Summary

Applicant Joel Thompson and neighbor James Byrd both told the Beavercreek BZA they support locating a pool along the side/front yard at 1199 Wallaby Drive; the clerk noted a written letter from the applicant in support.

Several speakers addressed the public hearing for variance V-26-5 and voiced support for the proposed pool location at 1199 Wallaby Drive. Applicant Joel Thompson provided handouts and photos, said Ohio 811 utility markings showed underground and overhead utilities that made rear placement less feasible, and told the board "we feel like there's plenty of room and, the fence would block any view from from the street or any activities that are going on on our property."

Neighbor James Byrd, who owns the parcel directly behind the applicant, told the board he and his household "have no objection at all to this change" and said the lot "looks more like a side yard than a front yard." The clerk also confirmed the board had received a written letter from 1199 Wallaby Drive in support; members received copies during the meeting. Board members indicated they had reviewed the materials in reaching their vote.
