Impact analysis
No direct city cost; the approvals let private owners invest in their properties.
The three applicant households gain approval to improve or replace their homes; the Chesapeake Drive neighborhood also benefits from replacing a severely dilapidated house.
Neighbors on Chesapeake Drive remain worried about the disputed property line and how close the new home may come to their properties.
