9-24-26 Board of Appeals Meeting

The City of Holland Board of Appeals convened on September 24, 2026, to review zoning variance applications. The primary agenda item was an application for a variance at 546 Bay View Drive, where the applicant requested a six-inch setback variance to place a new sauna in the side yard. The board reviewed the application, including neighbor support letters, and discussed whether the variance met legal standards. After deliberation, the board voted to deny the variance request, citing that the property did not have unique circumstances justifying the variance and that strict compliance with setback regulations was not unduly burdensome. No other applications were received for the next meeting, which was subsequently canceled. No procurement, contracting, or budget matters were discussed during this meeting.
