Cedarwood Road Home Granted Front Lot Line Variance
Planning Commission unanimously approves request for 4000 Cedarwood Road, formally recognizing the property's long-standing orientation.
The local Planning Commission recently granted a variance request for the property at 4000 Cedarwood Road, officially redefining its front lot line. The unanimous decision means the property’s legal front will now align with its historical and functional orientation toward Cedarwood Road, rather than its previous designation along France Avenue.
According to city officials, the variance poses no adverse effects on public well-being. Gary, the Zoning Administrator, presented the city's findings on the application, emphasizing the property's established nature.
Basically, what we find is that this request does not adversely affect the health, safety, and welfare of the community because this house faces Cedarwood Road. The front yard has always been Cedarwood Road since it was built in 1940. It functions that way. Always has. Fits in the neighborhood that way.
Commissioners echoed this sentiment, noting the clear practical benefits of the approval. Commissioner Tom Weber highlighted that the change simply brings the property's legal status into harmony with its surroundings and how it has historically operated.
I'll just say uh seems like a easy decision. It just kind of lines up the house with all the other houses along Cedarwood and along Forest. Along Forest are back-to-back, so they they're they're the odd one right now. So, just change it to match and and seems like I had support of uh almost all the neighbors, so uh seems like an easy decision for me, anyway.
