City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission April 1, 2025 The resident reviewed his request with the Commission and answered questions. A neighbor of the residentÓs was in attendance and expressed opposition to Mr. HeronÓs request, noting that the building height of the proposed garage would impact visibility from specific windows in her home. The Commission expressed non-binding support (informal review only) for the garage/pool house as long is it meets height and size requirements; there was less support for the pool due to the CommissionÓs interpretation of Ðfront yard.Ñ The resident intends to submit variances for the garage/pool house and the pool. The Commission requested that the City Code be revised to provide clearer definitions of yard, front yard, frontage, etc., and that the intent of the Code reflects that pools should be restricted to the rear yard. 2.
