[123 S 30th Ave Lot 3 and 123 S 30th Ave Lot 4; case BOA#26-100034 and BOA#26-100035] Two new single-family homes are proposed on two adjacent, historically platted lots at 123 S 30th Ave. The lots are substandard in width and area. Variances are requested for reduced front yard (20 ft vs 25 ft), side yard (5 ft vs 10 ft), rear yard (25 ft vs 30 ft), and increased lot coverage (39% vs 35%) to allow construction. This is a successive application following a previous denial on March 17, 2026, with reduced variance requests. Staff recommends approval, finding the requests minor, proportional, and necessary for reasonable use of the nonconforming lots. [1526 N 7th St; case BOA#26-100036] An addition to an existing nonconforming accessory structure is proposed at 1526 N 7th St. A variance is requested for a rear accessory structure setback of 13 inches in lieu of 5 feet. The property complies with RS-1 zoning dimensional standards but has an irregular configuration limiting rear yard space. The existing accessory structure (pergola) predates current ownership and is nonconforming. [816 N 15th Ave; case BOA#26-100037] An addition to an existing nonconforming structure is proposed at 816 N 15th Ave. A variance is requested for an accessory structure setback of 3 feet in lieu of 5 feet on the eastern portion of the property. The property is zoned RS-1. [610 S 6th Ave and 592 S 6th Ave; case BOA#26-100031 and BOA#26-100032] Two previous applications (BOA#26-100031 and BOA#26-100032) by Jacksonville Homes, LLC for 610 S 6th Ave and 592 S 6th Ave, respectively, were denied on June 2, 2026. The requests involved variances for accessory structure setback (0 ft vs 5 ft) and maximum lot coverage (47% vs 35%) to allow an unpermitted wood deck at existing single-family homes. The hardship cited was a nonconforming lot. The motion to approve BOA#26-100031 failed unanimously. A motion to amend BOA#26-100032 to only approve the accessory structure setback was also made and failed unanimously. No public comment was provided for these items.
