The Board of Adjustment approved a variance allowing construction of a single‑family home on a 3,583‑square‑foot lot at 2543 Dry Moss Way, granting relief from the UDC minimum 4,000‑square‑foot lot requirement.
Carl Novin, director of purchasing for Davidson Homes, told the board the company acquired many lots in the Applewhite Meadows subdivision and was unaware this lot fell short of the 4,000‑square‑foot requirement. Staff recommended approval; they reported the lot complies with other setback and dimensional standards and found the variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
Commissioners noted the city could pursue zoning or plat corrections if many lots later proved similarly undersized. Several members said they would treat this as a one‑off case and advised the applicant to check and correct any other lots that might also be undersized. The board adopted the staff findings of fact and voted unanimously to approve the variance.
Ending: The decision clears the way for Davidson Homes to build a house on the lot; staff and the applicant agreed the developer would identify other affected lots and pursue either variances or a replat as appropriate.
