This meeting of the Chattanooga Board of Zoning Appeals was held on July 1, 2026. The board considered a variance request for a setback reduction and a special exception for a drive-thru facility. The meeting also included the approval of minutes, a chairman election, and an ethics training session.
Please keep the remarks to within five minutes. Your case is going to be denied, you have two options. Before a vote on a motion is made on your case, you may request that the board deferred case to a future meeting in order to modify the request. Or you may request that your case be withdrawal. If a case is denied, the applicant must wait twelve months to reapply to the sport and same request. Appeals of decisions this board are made to change the court. And I'd also like to uh ask everybody, or not ask. I hope everybody has a great 250th 4th of July. So with all that being said, I have June minutes that we're just shooting. Do I have a motion to accept? So moved. Mr. Manual motion seconded. Okay. Ms. Rashid seconded. All those in favor say aye. Minutes are approved. I don't have any revisions of the agenda. I do have other business. We will conduct a chairman election again. And I've been sub question about problem notes. We have no old business, so we'll be able to start in the new Ms. Wood. Good morning, board. Just as a reminder to reintroduce myself in Lynnwood. I'm the new development review planner with Lane Development Office. So I'll be transitioning into the board administrator board. So I meet you here. Applicant is Dale Schmidt. The zoning is RM15, residential neighborhood zone, which is a single manly detached residential zone. Variance request is a reduction in the side and rear yard setback for an accessory structure. It's a metal hurdle. The applicant construct over there pool. And it's the reduction from five feet to two feet. This instance is very unique to the site. So I think it will be best if you hear more of the details about the reason for the variance from the applicant. And he has his representative here as well. And so here's just a reminder of the request for the applicant. Thanks. For accessory structures, the interior side setback is five feet in the code. The applicant is requesting two feet. And similarly for the rear setback for accessory structures of five feet, and the applicant is asking for two feet as well for the pergola. Oh, this is a typo. Sorry about just ignore that. It's two feet two feet. Here is an uh aerial image of the site here. Um it'll be back in this back corner. That's the request. Other side meant.
