Ayes: 5 Noes: 0 Result: Use variance denied. Application 2026-020 Agenda Item: Patricia McGuire — 298 Kirkwood Drive — Front Porch Setback • Request: Front porch with a 13' front setback where 30' required; small resting spot; letters of support from seven neighbors. • Code Enforcement (Busse): House is preexisting nonconforming; any porch requires variance due to original placement. AREA Variance Balancing Test 1. Undesirable change/detriment: No. Residential porch consistent with neighborhood; adds curb appeal. 2. Feasible alternatives: No. Nonconforming placement necessitates variance for any functional porch. 3. Substantiality: Yes numerically; practical impact reduced by existing nonconformity. 4. Adverse physical/environmental impact: No. 5. Self-created hardship: Partially self-created desire, but largely due to historic nonconformity. Motioned by Tronolone, seconded by Lang to approve front porch setback. Ayes: 5 Noes: 0 Adjournment Motioned by Greenan, seconded by Bedient, to adjourn the meeting. Meeting ended 8:11pm Page 9 of 54
