ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT 08.13.2026

The Davenport Zoning Board of Adjustment held a public hearing on August 13, 2026, to consider a hardship variance request (HV2604) for a property at 1131 North Lynwood Avenue. The applicant sought approval to encroach 5 to 7 feet into the required 20-foot front yard setback to construct a 10 by 25-foot front deck with an attached ADA ramp. The board reviewed the staff report, which did not recommend approval due to lack of established hardship, but acknowledged the ADA ramp portion was allowed by right. The applicant explained the need for the deck to accommodate family gatherings including wheelchair users, as the backyard was inaccessible. After discussion, the board voted to approve the variance request, noting the deck would still maintain a 15-foot setback from the road and the ramp was already permitted. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed.
