that the request centered on variance for distance only and that chickens and ducks remain <br /> governed by separate provisions of city code. <br /> Mr.Mackey made a motion to approve 325-2025;Bronwen&Anthony Huron; 27475 Benwood <br /> Cir.; seconded by Ms. Galateanu. <br /> Motion Passed: 4-0 <br /> 326-2025; Benjamin & Andrea Scott; 3660 Hunter Dr. <br /> The board heard a request from Benjamin and Andrea Scott of 3660 Hunter Drive for four <br /> variances related to the addition of two decks on their corner lot at Hunter Drive and Antler. The <br /> project included a new 8-by-18-foot deck on one side of the house and a covered 12-by-15-foot <br /> deck on the other. The variances requested were to enlarge a nonconforming dwelling with a rear <br /> setback of 34 feet 5 inches where 50 feet is required,to allow both decks as accessory structures <br /> in the side yard rather than the rear, and for an 8-foot reduction in the 20-foot side yard setback <br /> requirement. <br /> The applicants explained that while city code considers Antler the front yard,the functional front <br /> of their home faces Hunter,where the garage, driveway, and main entrance are located.They <br /> sought to enhance the home's appearance and accessibility, adding a small deck with a railing <br /> and overhang at the main entrance to assist Mrs. Scott,who has undergone multiple hip <br /> surgeries.A second covered deck in the rear would allow for outdoor seating and protection from <br /> rain. <br /> Their contractor,Robert Knoll, described the proposed layout,noting that existing concrete pads <br /> would serve as bases and that the new deck would slightly extend those areas.He clarified that <br /> the front deck would have only a small roof extension over the doorway,while the rear deck <br /> would be fully covered. <br /> The Building Department confirmed that due to the corner lot configuration and the existing <br /> setbacks, any structural addition would require variances.Board members reviewed drawings <br /> and photos for clarification and acknowledged that,under city code definitions,the Hunter side <br /> is technically considered a side yard, despite being the property's functional front. <br /> Mr.Mackey made a motion to approve; 326-2025; Benjamin&Andrea Scott; 3660 Hunter Dr.; <br /> seconded by Ms. Galateanu. <br /> Motion passed: 4-0 <br /> 327-2025; Bob Geiger; 23658 Mastick Rd. <br /> The board reviewed a variance request for Bob Geiger of 23658 Mastick Road to construct a <br /> detached garage larger than permitted by code.
