Re: Information request, Board
of Zoning Appeals - Oread Parking Related Variance Requests
Date: February 22, 2008
As
you are aware, variance requests by their very nature are unique to the property
and the specific situation involved with the request. I have been directed to
put together a list of the variances related to parking within the Oread
Neighborhood during the past several years. Please be aware that no two
variance requests would have the same situation and considering them to be
similar could be misleading.
