Tony Blatt of ADG Blatt Architects, representing the owner, told the board the lot is 68 feet wide east‑to‑west but, after allowances for right‑of‑way, parking and sidewalks, leaves roughly 50‑plus feet of building depth. \"I need about 64 feet, and we have about 54 feet for our building,\" Blatt said, explaining that a standard six‑operatory dental layout requires roughly 60 feet plus wall thickness to provide north‑facing operatories preferred for natural light.

Blatt said the applicant seeks a five‑foot rear‑yard setback (reduced from the typical 15‑foot O‑2 rear setback) to accommodate the requested operatory layout. Planning staff and board members discussed adjacent development and materials; Blatt said the rear elevation would be masonry to match the other sides and the adjacent property had a 28‑foot buffer to its parking lot.

Board members expressed support, noting the hardship arguments and site configuration. A motion to approve case number 15926, stating the request met the statutory requirements for a variance, passed. The board’s approval allows the project to proceed under the reduced rear‑yard setback.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Oklahoma Board of Adjustment - May 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Architects seeking a variance for a six‑chair dental clinic said the lot’s narrow east‑west dimension and the city’s designation of the rear yard created an unnecessary hardship; the board approved the setback variance after hearing material and adjacency details.","taxTitle","Other Public Meetings, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma","taxId",69689,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6239861,"Board approves variance for front‑yard setback at 600 Southeast 20th despite right‑of‑way encroachment",835,5999000,6834000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3334452-a135e4fae9736efbf903522eda795f83&start=5999&end=6834","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3334452-a135e4fae9736efbf903522eda795f83/thumbnail_5999000.jpg","/articles/6239861/Oklahoma/Board-approves-variance-for-frontyard-setback-at-600-Southeast-20th-despite-rightofway-encroachment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6239861-201f8cc42271638ddd18b7032d08fa31/orig.mp4?Expires=1770640293&Signature=B5VuyU33pKfoOCRs3NHd4U7noeuZIWHfH8YdJxsH6TXBXSQ0ZrC6SkLBnP~spepV0lfAq8W0GPMOAeE2hNJ12bMO7KgemNyECMd88qjtwpYLTIonz6rjdh0gS-ZzvDYvl~LMqZSmkXCWRK03Ms30-HnhqZEwicYm1Bh8Ofr-sVWu~AZbR9Of8XgdF8bAs22XOOc9QsjQC75sMq8SoyN1Mjs-I4w0NhWdXlLPE3C5nOAXSSx42OnrcgViFfPxbcKHjhOm0mJsHZxL0HRc0vdZVFBNvg3duG4totn3HxUhkeQdaYbnuKD4vTso15S~pABYgGL3SI-kn~8xe6XjkLg7Tw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Adjustment approved a variance for a front‑yard setback at 600 Southeast 20 Seventh Street after hearing that the lot fronts an 80‑foot right‑of‑way and that the newly built house sits forward of the normal 25‑foot setback measurement.

Judith Uriarte of Uriarte Construction told the board the builder had not realized the case would be heard; she explained the structure was built over the required building line. Planning staff explained that Southeast 20 Seventh Street has an 80‑foot right‑of‑way, so the typical 25‑foot building setback measured from the property line would have required the house to sit 65 feet from the street center line; the existing structure sits roughly 55 feet from the center line, leaving an encroachment of about 10 feet from the expected setback.

Staff said utilities and other public infrastructure were not affected by the encroachment and that adjacent homes on the west side of the street are aligned similarly. The board discussed the possibility of an easement or future street improvements but determined those possibilities did not create an immediate reason to deny relief.

Board members said the variance was appropriate because the house is already built, matches adjacent built properties, and does not interfere with utilities. The board voted to approve the variance; the motion passed.

The board indicated it will consider longer‑term steps to reduce future surprises of this type — including more careful checks during permitting and possible easement‑closure procedures — but did not adopt any new policy at the hearing.","The board granted a variance for a newly constructed house that extends into the city right‑of‑way set‑back, after staff noted the street has an unusually large (80‑foot) right‑of‑way and utilities will not be affected.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6239864,"Board grants temporary variance allowing veteran to park handicap trailer on driveway, tied to occupant",1772,965000,2737000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3334452-a135e4fae9736efbf903522eda795f83&start=965&end=2737","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3334452-a135e4fae9736efbf903522eda795f83/thumbnail_965000.jpg","/articles/6239864/Oklahoma/Board-grants-temporary-variance-allowing-veteran-to-park-handicap-trailer-on-driveway-tied-to-occupant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6239864-fd013fb29865b38ac3d6b91142ec7fb0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770640293&Signature=iXMf~XqDdYiczOvqQB4gTNtL~I3lEpakt80ivGqGBtB2G0wZxVy-tT~HKglMkCuuLHV0VkW2xJq8IaLI4ghLzw1sWaJH0-zuxCYwBe1AAHgjAblSHZiNuVs9fISdGmCoe1djhk85abDIKyIFwGBzy0CQZvAlX7L2Yz6lztBFNROavL~HYDlVc1qoar7lxu-6zsbiaO8g42XyyAEHYEAMoMCXlXSiylSHg6LFHnN9S0nYB4QukG8Om4guMdAhvppgR0jMBGaIYAoAU6gbb-qwHxf6CfVPOilgYd7yyH1EbP3h-Q3-m6UaMAjru8akuszqCA3IZfThdyMN2-Shu4aqAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Adjustment approved a variance to the city’s front‑yard trailer parking rules to allow a veteran to park a handicap trailer on his driveway while he continues to occupy the home.

Julie Fulton, an attorney representing the applicant, told the board that the Castleberry Homeowners Association \"hereby grants a waiver to the homeowner...from the prohibition against parking trailers in section 4.6 of the declaration of conditions, covenants, and restrictions for the Castleberry neighborhood\" and that the waiver applies specifically to the driveway at the address and renews annually while the owner occupies the property.

Fulton said her client uses a trailer to transport a mobility scooter and provided a Department of Veterans letter documenting his status. The applicant also submitted letters from neighbors saying they had no problem with the trailer being parked on hard surface driveway.

Planning staff and the board discussed the municipal code provision cited by code enforcement, listed in the record as municipal code 59‑10400(d). Staff noted that paragraph 2 of that section permits outside parking in the front yard if the unit is on a hard surface and complies with spacing and sidewalk requirements, while paragraph 7 states generally that \"all trailers are prohibited from parking in the front yard.\" Planning staff and the applicant argued that paragraph 7 is intended to ban trailers on grass or unpaved portions of the front yard, not trailers parked perpendicular on a hard driveway that meet spacing and sidewalk rules.

Because of the initial citation and neighborhood objections, the board tailored the variance narrowly. The motion approved the variance specifically for relief from municipal code 59‑10400(d)(7) and made the grant limited \"for so long as the applicant resides at the home.\" The board discussed but did not itself void any outstanding code‑enforcement citation; a board member suggested making resolution of the citation contingent on code‑enforcement review.

The board approved the variance by motion and vote; the applicant and his family were present during the hearing.","The board approved a variance to a front‑yard trailer prohibition so a veteran may park an accessible trailer on his driveway while he resides at the property; the Castleberry Homeowners Association issued a written waiver and the board limited relief to the applicant's occupancy.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6239869,"Board approves multiple home‑sharing special exceptions with similar conditions on quiet hours, parking and one‑year terms",3070,2836000,5906000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3334452-a135e4fae9736efbf903522eda795f83&start=2836&end=5906","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3334452-a135e4fae9736efbf903522eda795f83/thumbnail_2836000.jpg","/articles/6239869/Oklahoma/Board-approves-multiple-homesharing-special-exceptions-with-similar-conditions-on-quiet-hours-parking-and-oneyear-terms","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6239869-a356a8018c7b84deef8ce1d1134b9753/orig.mp4?Expires=1770640293&Signature=chjdiUYlwy8U8HfqRLSHdPMzgF~SFgBa6QMCTNS7eHsuq-g6fKfOK~UTMupI4dMqIO~4y21IdmG02up7udVTzY5EunBFyxKxi9xice57DFj772UDyrlL6DGuFbVhclQbWtg7JTMAamRbmR1EOc9APttboP9Prnt0W5xSryQxphFHtmsbga7-qQ1oblAndVYoGd4IrlgBrub5asFnUNaBaMyxxmCzdLX5AiRH4IqLnYg8GcmG5l0ZY8x7-L3cTsZXeRtiUbU3rnpot5g~HDEc8AQL4XSD3Bi9UsjCmYlXQvJCS~H-LrsL-kLIzPWLTZ6WorAQgvrWzJVcb1FUURaeRQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Adjustment approved a set of special exceptions that allow short‑term home‑sharing at multiple properties, placing conditions intended to limit neighborhood impacts.

The approvals covered separate applications from Laurie Ray (Dutch Lane Properties), Colton Haskin, Ashley Bowering, Manuel Chavez (represented by Cassandra Salas), Daniel Schwabez (for Alondro Esparza), and Mark/Merrick Dobosz, among others. Board members routinely imposed similar conditions: a limited term (generally one year), quiet hours at night, limits on the number of vehicles, and prohibitions on on‑street parking during quiet hours.

For example, Laurie Ray (case 15915) received a three‑year extension limited to quiet hours from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m., a maximum of two vehicles, and no on‑street parking during quiet hours. Most other approvals were for one‑year terms with quiet hours commonly set between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. through 8 a.m., vehicle limits set between two and four depending on the property configuration, and explicit “no on‑street parking” conditions. A number of approvals required that parking be on hard surfaces and not block sidewalks.

The board reviewed each property separately. Applicants described property sizes, bedroom counts and available on‑site parking; staff and the board asked for clarifications about how many guests and vehicles would be allowed and whether the garage or driveway would be used. Several applicants noted they hold leases, manage properties, or live out of state and would act as managers.

Several approvals were uncontested; one application (3113 Northwest 50 Fourth Street) drew a lengthy public hearing with multiple neighborhood speakers opposing a short‑term rental proposal. For that property, the board approved a one‑year special exception with conditions: maximum six guests, quiet hours 8 p.m.–8 a.m., no on‑street parking and a four‑car maximum.

The board also discussed compliance and enforcement. For at least one renewal the board noted the application was filed after the prior permit expired and treated it as a new application, granting a one‑year permit as a result.

The decisions were adopted by motion and vote during the meeting; each approval was recorded as meeting the statutory requirements for a special exception and included the board’s specific modifications.","The Board of Adjustment approved a series of home‑sharing special exceptions for properties across the city, typically imposing one‑year permits, quiet‑hour requirements and limits on vehicles and on‑street parking.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6239873,"Board member alerts public to proposed rise in city filing fees for appeals and home‑sharing exceptions",95,99000,194000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3334452-a135e4fae9736efbf903522eda795f83&start=99&end=194","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3334452-a135e4fae9736efbf903522eda795f83/thumbnail_99000.jpg","/articles/6239873/Oklahoma/Board-member-alerts-public-to-proposed-rise-in-city-filing-fees-for-appeals-and-homesharing-exceptions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6239873-ea1a4f5fcf6b7b33c21bbb8ff5b1326d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770640293&Signature=bGvNc67TwJLHkygCvsCoz4xVPOiiNLR~XmVUvIAvpWHHvC9hUeStgAQ9~LoahPeWjrlFDKlF7rdDnItv1C5hvrCu~SuVTRUXjbuQYswljbpyTjPYcvfP51RlLWGMbJ8bRXIVzzL5tdXfI3fR8qeDXEeZroisItdCeF3Y~6Ylk1Peip8ZjrUjqYIws9vIuSUOXt~MB1GkehpRhz0kQJYx2~AyG~yBua~S4GxA2OjwfL5yJREcsFtrtZJarV7dBDLHvNXwh6Y3NmqYivXLykV6AQRa85JmCLOIKtpBLFap6D8aeoWc36A7frCnCyCv2EX1N96D908iGiV8poJg9JzgEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A board member on the Board of Adjustment told attendees that the city is considering increases to certain filing fees that could affect people who appear before the board.

The announcement came at the start of the meeting when the chair moved communications and reports ahead of the published agenda so people already in the room would hear about the proposal. The board member offered to share an email address after the meeting for anyone who wanted to comment.

No formal action was taken by the board; the announcement was informational. The board did not vote or direct staff to draft language at this meeting.
