Decision: Partial Approval

Hearing: Staff gave a presentation on the case covering the location, site layout, and photos. Code Enforcement explained that they cited the property, and if the BZA approves the requests, then the applicant will be in compliance, otherwise a fine will accrue. The applicant stated that she constructed the pool with her husband. The applicant also stated that she is more concerned with the fence than the pool. The BZA confirmed that the work was done without permits and the fence height. The BZA confirmed that the adjacent affected neighbor supports the fence. Staff received no commentaries in favor of the application, and one in opposition to the application. There was no opposition at the hearing. The BZA denied variance requests #1 and #2, and approved variance request #3.
