Votes at a glance: Two special exceptions approved by Irving ZBA

At the August hearing the Irving Zoning Board of Adjustment approved two special exceptions for front-yard carports. Case 2026136BOA (2011 Bradford Street) was approved after applicant John Strickland argued that narrow side access, drainage issues, and mature trees made relocating the carport impractical. Case 2026144BOA (3200 Whitten Street) was approved after applicants Frank and Francisco Salas said the carport would protect vehicles from hail; staff reported one letter of support for that case and none in opposition.
