Colerain Township Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting of August 26, 2026

The Colerain Township Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on August 26, 2026, to review several zoning variance cases and address procedural matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of variances for property owners to maintain existing structures or proceed with building expansions that did not fully comply with zoning setbacks. Notably, a variance was granted to Heather Steing to keep an existing shed in the front yard due to physical constraints of the rear yard, with conditions limiting future modifications. Another variance was approved for the Disciples of Christ Christian Fellowship to allow reduced building setbacks for a new church reconstruction and expansion, facilitating functional construction on a constrained lot. The board also discussed a scam alert involving fraudulent emails impersonating board members soliciting money from applicants, emphasizing that the board will never request payments outside official channels and plans to inform future applicants about this risk. No direct contract awards or procurement contracts were discussed, but the meeting included decisions that could impact future construction and development projects within the township.
