Bay City boards take up parking variance, porch replacement, and adaptive sports complex

Zoning Board of Appeals (Aug. 11)

The board held a public hearing on a variance request from Mersen Corporation for a new parking lot at 915 Harrison. The company seeks reduced setbacks of 5.8 feet on Polk Street, 9 feet on 37th Street, and 7 feet on Harrison Street. The board also discussed adoption of a new zoning ordinance.

Historic District Commission agenda items include repairs to two historic Bay City homes

The Bay City Historic District Commission had a meeting scheduled for June 24 to vote on two Certificate of Appropriateness applications for exterior repairs at historic homes. The agenda also included a discussion of a supplemental work review checklist. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes of the votes are unknown.

Historic District Commission (June 24)

The commission’s agenda listed two items:

• HDC 26-17: Application to replace fascia and soffits at 1315 McKinley St.
• HDC 26-18: Application to replace front stairs at 912 N. Mclellan St.

Both are Certificate of Appropriateness decisions, meaning the commission was to determine whether the proposed work complies with historic preservation standards. A supplemental work review checklist was also set for discussion.

Because the minutes have not been published, it is not yet known whether the applications were approved, denied, or tabled.
