3. SCHEDULED
MATTERS:
A. Review
and request for a motion to approve a rear yard building setback variance for a
deck at 680 Manchester Drive (Manchester Subdivision). Mr. Henderson stated the property owners were
proposing to construct a deck approximately 16x16 feet (260 square feet), with
stairs on the north side of the deck that would protrude seven feet into the
rear yard setback. He stated the
property is zoned in an R-4 Residential zoning and should have a 35 foot rear
yard setback, so it would be 28 feet from the rear of the deck to the property
line so this would be a 20 percent variance.
Mr. Henderson stated staff supports the rear yard building setback
variance request with the condition that the rear yard setback for the deck
shall be reduced from 35 to 28 feet.
Mr. Chris Carter stated he is the
applicant and he would be happy to answer any questions the Board may have.
Mr. Wells ascertained there were no
questions from the Board members.
Mr. Boruszewski moved to approve the
request that the rear yard building setback variance for the deck shall be
reduced from 35 to 28 feet; Mr. Wright seconded the motion.

voting “Yea.” Motion passed, 3-0.
