RESIDENTIAL APPEALS AND REQUESTS 213-2025; Craig Neumann; 27295 Nantucket Dr. Representative: Craig Neumann A home addition was presented, with a variance request for a 2.8 -foot reduction in the minimum width of the side yard. The code required a combined sum of 15 feet, while the applicant proposed 12.2 feet. The applicant explained that the variance would allow for an addition to the first floor, providing more comfort, especially for a family member experiencing difficulty. They explored various options, and adding on was the only viable choice. The building department confirmed that the proposed plan was the best option for the applicant and had no objections. The applicant did not wish to sell the house, as they lilted their current residence. The applicant had lived in the house since 1985. Board members asked if there had been any communication from the neighbors. The applicant confirmed that they had spoken with the neighbor on one side. One board member inquired if the applicant had considered different layouts for the addition. The applicant responded that they hadn't gotten professionals involved but believed the proposed layout would accommodate the desired features, including a shower and closet space. No further questions were raised, and no additional comments were made. Mr. Mackey moved to approve 213-2025; Craig Neumann; 27295 Nantucket Dr.; seconded by Mr. Papotto.
