Approval of Minutes <br />The minutes from the August 15, 2012 Board of Adjustment meeting were approved. <br /> <br />2. Case # 12-10758 8828 Washington Avenue <br />Robert Heyder (property owner) requested a variance to construct an attached deck maintaining a <br />side yard setback of 0.5 feet in lieu of 5 feet as required by Section 34-30.5.2.a(2) of the Zoning <br />Code for the residential lot in the SR Single Family Residential District. The variance was <br />deemed denied by a vote of 2 (opposed) to 3 (in favor), short of a concurring vote of four <br />members as required for approval of a variance. The Board members who voted in opposition <br />noted that based on the evidence presented the existence of a hardship was not evident and that <br />the 2.5 feet of clearance on the northwest corner of the house provided enough room to access <br />the back yard and that the proposed structure would create an unnecessary hardship by limiting <br />access to the back yard from the south side of the house. <br /> <br /> <br />tm; <br /> šE <br /> <br />
