What's on this agenda

Chapel Hill's Board of Adjustment hears a variance request from Vicki Parrott of 739 Gimghoul Road, who wants to add an accessory dwelling unit above a detached garage that predates zoning. The garage sits about 4 feet from the side property line, where 10 feet is required, and about 9 feet from Evergreen Lane, where 26 feet is required. The lot is zoned R-1 in the HD-3 historic overlay. Staff give the board two resolutions, one granting and one denying, with no recommendation between them.

The board also takes up the written decision on a variance for 219 Glenhill Lane heard earlier, approves its 3 September minutes, and makes membership recommendations. The hearing takes public comment.
