[1 Azalea Drive; case PZ-26.132] The Board of Adjustment considered a request for two variances for an accessory structure at 1 Azalea Drive. Variance #1 sought to reduce the required side setback from 10 feet to 6 feet, and Variance #2 sought to increase the allowed height from 12 feet to 15 feet 4 inches. The applicant, Jeremy Hutcherson, cited unique site constraints due to the primary residence's placement and existing utility equipment limiting buildable area. The staff recommended approval of both variances, subject to development consistency with submitted plans and obtaining all necessary permits. The proposed motion was to approve the variances. [case PZ-26-12] The Board of Adjustment considered a variance request for a second-story addition to an existing single-family residence. The request was for a 6.5-foot variance from the required 25-foot front setback. The homeowner stated the neighbor had no objections. A neighbor, Rolland D. Smith, Jr., was present and approved of the addition and variance, with a concern about rear gutter drainage, which the homeowner confirmed was being addressed by the contractor. The Board approved the variance with applicable conditions.
