Central Board of Adjustments Approves Variance for Setback at 17655 Balin Avenue

The city of Central Board of Adjustments heard a variance request for a 12-foot setback at 17655 Balin Avenue, where a 35-foot setback is currently required. The applicant, Daniel Fox, sought this variance to accommodate a drainage swell and the spray irrigation needs of his aerobic septic tank, which requires 40 feet of clearance. The proposed shift would allow the shop to be built further south, ensuring proper water runoff and septic system function. A neighboring property owner, John Boen, spoke in favor of the request, citing the unique lot situation and potential drainage issues. The board deliberated on the classification of the setback as a front or side yard and the reasoning behind the current zoning requirements.
