Unpermitted structures and uses
A builder's four-foot dimensional error pushed a planned covered patio into the side-yard setback, leaving the owners seeking two variances. Staff recommended denial for lack of hardship, and the board gave the family a chance to redesign instead of likely denying the request.

A couple built extra pool decking without a permit, poking into the subdivision's protected 32-foot rear setback. They paid a $15,000 fine in mayor's court and now want to keep it, arguing it fixed backyard flooding. The board votes on the plat amendment and variance May 20.
