Leland Board of Adjustment Regular Meeting
The Board of Adjustment meeting primarily focused on a variance request from the Willows Homeowners Association regarding sidewalk and bicycle lane design standards. The applicant sought relief from requirements for sidewalk width and bicycle lanes to facilitate the installation of a gate for the neighborhood, citing cost-prohibitive construction and potential infringement on private property rights. The Board also reviewed the history of the neighborhood's development and discussed the criteria for granting a variance, including the demonstration of unnecessary hardship and adherence to the spirit and purpose of town ordinances.

Town of Leland Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes
The Board of Adjustment meeting focused on a variance request from Section 66-276 (3)b regarding parking requirements for a proposed Chase Bank project. The discussion centered on geotechnical reports indicating a high seasonal water table that prevented compliance with stormwater treatment requirements for permeable pavement or bioretention. The Board deliberated on four specific criteria for the variance, including unnecessary hardship, conditions peculiar to the property, the source of the hardship, and consistency with the ordinance's intent regarding public safety. The Board ultimately voted to approve the variance after determining all criteria were met.
