Neighbors,
The NHNA will hold a special Board Meeting on October 8th, 6:30pm, at Monte Vista Christian Church.
The sole agenda item is a request for a variance at 430 Richmond Pl NE. The case will be heard by the Zoning Hearing Examiner (
ZHE) on October 15th. The request is, “Variance to 5′ side yard setback for a 250 sqft addition to existing single family house requested due to site topography, neighborhood drainage and existing building encroachment.â€
In the past, the NHNA Urban Planning committee has hosted these meetings with the applicant and presented a recommendation at the regular monthly meeting of the Board. However, recent changes to the IDO (the city zoning code) have reduced the notification requirements for ZHE requests until a couple weeks before the ZHE hearing, so there is no time for a separate committee meeting. We are still working through how we will handle ZHE requests going forward.
