Variance at 1122 Wilson Avenue
Appeal 26-17: David Prochaska, applicant/property owner, requesting approval to deviate from front yard setback standards for an uncovered front porch attached to a one/two family residence in an R1 low density residential district at 1122 Wilson Avenue. Existing house set back ~24.2 ft; proposed porch (~30.2 sq ft, extending 4 ft 2 in past the house to ~20 ft from the right-of-way) exceeds the 25-sq-ft landing threshold and the block average setback of ~24 ft. Passed 3-1 with one member dissenting on spirit/purpose grounds (porch vs. landing distinction).
