The Board of Adjustment Panel C voted 5-0 on Oct. 20, 2025, to grant a 10-foot variance to the front-yard setback regulation requested by applicant Jay Piscuski for case BOA25000047. The decision allows development on a divided corner lot that the applicant said would otherwise be undevelopable under strict front-yard measurements.

Jay Piscuski described a protracted replatting process for the property at 1811 Greenville Avenue and said a neighboring carport once encroached on the lot, delaying the replat for nearly three years. He told the board that, because of the block geometry and how Alta and Summit streets abut the lot, the property effectively faces two front yards and that treating Alta as the front yard would make the subdivided corner parcel undevelopable. “The corner property is really, we’re pretty much unable to develop it if there’s a front yard observed from Alta versus Summit,” Piscuski said.

Board members asked whether landscaping and tree planting would be provided; Piscuski said the applicant plans to comply with Article 10 landscape requirements. The board moved to grant a 10-foot variance on the grounds that the property’s physical character created an unnecessary hardship and that the hardship was not self-created by the applicant. The motion included a condition that the development comply with the most recent submitted plans.

The motion passed unanimously by voice vote. After the vote, the applicant thanked the board for considering the matter. The board’s approval permits the applicant to proceed under the variance condition; required plan compliance will be enforced through standard permitting and inspection processes.
