Rivermeade Drive addition setback approved despite staff's denial recommendation

The Board of Zoning Adjustment approved a variance reducing the front-yard setback from 60 feet to 49.63 feet for a second-story addition on Rivermeade Drive NW. Its Sept. 10 summary lists case V-26-106 as approved despite a staff recommendation for denial.

Planning staff said the site retained adequate buildable area and could accommodate development under the applicable zoning requirements despite its reduced frontage and varying topography.
