A variance to reduce the required one-way driveway width from 26 feet to 20 feet for a 15-unit apartment building on 0.32 acres in DROD Area 5. The motion to approve failed with a 2-1-1 vote, which counts as a denial.
Board of Adjustment - Mar 9, 2026
A 15-unit, three-story flat building on four original townsite lots totaling about 0.32 acres sought a variance to use a 20-foot one-way driveway instead of the 26 feet required for flats in the Downtown Residential Overlay District. The board denied it 2-1 with one abstention despite staff's recommendation to approve.
