BZA2302-001       Accessory Structure Request – Country Club Estates Subdivision, Lot 11, 507 Meadowlark Lane, Zoning R-2 - Applicant: The Addison Group

The Addison Group requested approval of a 555 square foot detached structure to be constructed in the rear buildable area of the lot.

The department recommended that the following 4 requirements be attached to the approval of the request:

  3. Complete plans shall be submitted for review, approval, and issuance of a building permit.
