Board approves roof-pitch variance for Frederick property

At a City of Central Board of Adjustment meeting, members approved a variance to allow a roof pitch of less than 6 on 12 for a property in the R-2 single-family residential zoning district. The applicant was represented by Kate Ross, who spoke for the property owner. The request sought relief from Section 4.3(e) of the city’s comprehensive zoning code, which sets a minimum roof pitch standard for the zoning district. Board members discussed the subdivision pattern near the lot and noted similarity to a previous variance granted on an adjacent lot. There was no public comment on the item. Board members moved and seconded a motion to approve the variance “as requested,” and the chairman announced the motion passed on roll call. Staff will follow up with the applicant on permitting and any conditions required by building standards.
