Hearing: SYNOPSIS: Staff described the proposal, including the location of the property, the site plan, and photos of the site. Staff provided an analysis of the six (6) criteria and the reasons for a recommendation for approval of the Variances due to the limited impact to adjacent properties. Staff noted that one (1) comment was received in favor of the application, and one (1) in opposition to the application. The applicant described the need for the Variances and requested additional time for obtaining required permits due to an upcoming procedure. Code enforcement discussed the history of the citation. There was no one in attendance to speak in favor or in opposition to the request. The BZA discussed the rationale for the Variances, discussed the appropriate length of time to obtain permits, the ability to request an administrative extension, and unanimously recommended approval of the Variances by a 6-0 vote and one absent, subject to the five (5) conditions in the staff report.
