1407 Charles Street side-yard setback variance
Description
The applicant wanted to cut the west side-yard setback from 10 feet to 5 feet for a garage addition, but withdrew the application before the meeting. Staff would only have supported going down to 8 feet to match current zoning.
Impact summary
No decision was made, so the property stays under the 10-foot plat setback for now. If the applicant returns, a compromise at 8 feet seems the likely path.

Van Deest wants to add a third garage stall but needs the 10-foot side setback cut to 5 feet; staff proposed 8 feet, but plat notes and a utility easement complicated everything.
