Rear yard setback variance for above-grade deck at 1045 S. Pointe Alexis Dr.
Summary
A homeowner needed permission to build a deck that dips slightly into the neighborhood's 30-foot rear setback. The board found the angled lot line — a quirk of the 1986 plat — justifies the tiny encroachment, which still leaves more than 15 feet to the rear lot line.

Three homeowners needed permission to build closer to property lines than the code allows — a garage apartment, an enclosed deck, and a new house. All three were approved, showing the board's willingness to grant relief where unique site or historic-district conditions justify it.
