Courtenay Drive addition setback approved despite staff's denial recommendation

The Board of Zoning Adjustment approved a variance reducing the front-yard setback from 35 feet to 15 feet 2 inches for a home addition on Courtenay Drive NE. Its Sept. 10 summary lists case V-26-116 as approved despite staff's recommendation for denial.

Planning staff described a request to add a roof and columns to the existing porch, but said those changes were not necessitated by the property's physical conditions.
