ZV(R)2026-0028 — Merlano circular driveway variance

Description

The Merlano family sought to legalize a circular driveway at 43% front lot coverage instead of the allowed 40%, after trimming down from 46% at the board's direction; the driveway was built without a permit and cited by code compliance in February 2025.

Impact summary

The family keeps their driveway legally, with a modest 3% coverage over the standard that board members found acceptable after the reduction.
