Troy Zoning Board of Appeals - June 2016 Meeting Recap

City staff has posted the video recording of the 6/21/16 Troy Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) meeting to YouTube. At the bottom of this post is the video. (The meeting actually starts shortly after the 40 second mark of the video.)

Click here to download the entire Agenda Packet from the June 21st meeting.

There were five items on the agenda:
  • A variance for 1321 Boyd (to split a parcel of land into 2 parcels). The ZBA voted on a resolution to deny the variance. I voted to deny the variance but it failed to pass. The ZBA then voted to postpone action on this item to our July meeting.

  • A variance for 6511 Malvern (to construct a new home). The ZBA approved the variance. I voted to approve the variance.

  • A variance for 1876 Smallbrook (to build a new uncovered attached deck). The ZBA approved the variance. I voted to approve the variance.

  • A variance for 196 Chopin (to build a detached garage). The ZBA approved the variance. I voted to approve the variance.

  • A variance for 1078 Boyd (to split a parcel of land into 2 parcels). The ZBA denied the variance. I voted with the majority to deny the variance.
Also, congratulations to Paul McCown who was recently "promoted" to the Board from his former position as an alternate.

2016 Troy Memorial Day Ceremony

Mary Ellyn and I attended the 2016 Troy Memorial Day Ceremony at Veterans Plaza, Troy City Hall last week. It's been a few years since I attended and it was nice to see that City staff and the Troy Veterans Memorial Committee still do a great job conducting the ceremony.


Below is a video I took of the Laying of the Memorial Wreath at the 2016 ceremony...
