BoardLake Forest Zoning Board of Appeals Regular Meeting
The board addressed a request for a variance concerning a garage extension at 347 Cherokee Road. The discussion focused on the necessity of a side yard setback variance to accommodate a proposed single-story mudroom addition. The petitioner explained the structural and functional challenges of alternative designs. The board reviewed the history of the property's siting and current zoning requirements. Ultimately, the board voted to recommend approval of the variance, confirming that the encroachment would be limited to the side yard and consistent with the existing residence's footprint.
