Surak Residence Variances

Description

A new custom home on a vacant through lot needed reduced 25-ft and 20-ft setbacks and 50% lot cover where 35% is allowed.

Impact summary

A 35-year resident opposed deviating from standards in place since the 1960s, but the hearing officer cited a similar 2022 variance on the adjacent lot in granting approval.
