Garage door and generator variances at 212 S. Fairview

AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checked

At a public hearing on March 17, 2022, the Zoning Board of Appeals considered a request by Alec Zocher for major variances to allow an attached garage with a street-facing door wider than the limit and the side yard encroachment of an emergency electrical generator at 212 S. Fairview. The board voted 4–0 to recommend that the City Council approve the variances. This account rests on the draft minutes posted for approval; the City Council's final decision is not part of this record.

Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded in draft minutes), Mar 17 2022. Evidence dated . Later outcomes require a later source.
