SPR #26-13 — 633 Balmoral Road
The setback protects the southern neighbor's lake view; the adjacent lot to the north is redeveloping next month and will establish the average with this one.
SPR #25-14 — New single-family residence on Lake Killarney
The new house keeps 18 of 23 existing cypress trees, stays about 1,000 square feet under the allowable floor area, and won't block neighbors' lake views. Construction traffic on the tight lakefront road is the main short-term nuisance.
