Impact analysis
Approving the relief would let the property owner proceed with a pool project that standard setbacks would otherwise block; no cost to the city was identified.
The owner of 474 Augusta Dr. would benefit from being able to install a pool within the existing setback.
Nearby neighbors could be affected if the pool sits at the property line, though no opposition was documented in the materials provided.
