Summary
The Board of Zoning Appeals granted a variance to allow an opaque fence in the street setback at 4600 Nevada Avenue after a tied motion shifted when a member chose to participate and vote yes.
The Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals approved a variance to allow an opaque (closed) fence within the street setback for property at 4600 Nevada Avenue.
The motion to grant the variance was tied on an earlier roll call. Board member Ransom and others confirmed they had reviewed the record; Miss Johnson said she had watched and chose to participate. Johnson’s affirmative vote produced four concurring votes in favor of granting the variance, and the chair announced the variance was granted.
The board directed the applicant to follow up with the codes department about any outstanding permit issues. The action resolved a previously tied matter that had been carried over from an earlier hearing.
The request was framed as a variance from the height requirements for an opaque fence in the street setback in an R7.5 zoning district; the permit decision now stands as granted per the board vote.
