Minutes
This document is the minutes of the City of Clayton Board of Adjustment meeting held September 5, 2024. It records attendance, motions to approve prior minutes, and consideration of a variance application for a property on Concordia Lane. The excerpts show two specific variance requests: a 10% increase (to 65%) in allowable impervious coverage versus the 55% standard, and a 186-square-foot reduction from the 1,500 sq ft required per dwelling unit to permit a four-unit building on a 5,814 sq ft lot. Both motions to approve those variances failed—one motion received no votes in favor and five opposed; the other received one vote in favor and four opposed.
