Jimmy Lee Road ADU Variance

Description

A family wants to keep their 1970s house as a pool home and build a new 3,500-4,000-square-foot primary house in front on 2.32 acres. Five neighbors objected, citing subdivision precedent and code problems on the road.

Impact summary

Sets a potential precedent for two dwellings per large lot on a dead-end road where residents prize the semi-rural character.
