Townhome lot area and parking variances at 245 Vine Avenue
AI-assisted researchHow this was researched and checkedThe applicant proposed replacing a four-unit building at 245 Vine Avenue with three townhomes and sought major variances (VA-26-14) for lot area and parking. The Zoning Board of Appeals voted 5–2 to recommend that the City Council approve the parking variance, allowing less than the required off-street parking. A separate motion to recommend approval of the lot area variance did not carry; the draft minutes record it as denied. The City Council makes the final decision on major variances; this record does not show that action.
Documented status: Committee recommendation (recorded in draft minutes), Jul 23 2026. Evidence dated . Later outcomes require a later source.

What was requested, recommended, approved, contracted, reported paid and completed?
Amounts are read from the cited pages and added up by code. A recommendation, an award or an authorized amount does not establish that money was paid.
No amount is published for this item.
Contracts, payments and completion
No contract, payment or completion record is published for this item. Approval alone does not establish completion.
Which parcels, agencies, businesses and projects are explicitly connected?
Official identifiers and exhibit listings connect records. A name, an address or distance alone only suggests a connection.
No explicit connection is published for this item.
What remains unresolved?
No condition or deadline is published for this item. That is a limit of the published research, not evidence that none exist.
Open questions
No open question is recorded for this item.
What does the evidence suggest, and what would change it?
No conflicting records are published for this item.
Permits at this address since the first recorded event
No approval, award or execution is recorded, so permits are counted after the first dated event, Jul 23, 2026 (Motion to recommend the lot area variance does not carry).
Computed by code from the building permits in the Park Ridge property release (the county permit feed), as of Nov 1, 2026. A permit shows that work was authorized, not that it was completed, and no permit recorded does not establish that nothing was built. A parcel matched by address is nominated by the address written in the record; that does not prove the record concerns it.
Matched by address: 245 Vine Avenue
