What this means
The board rejected a request to keep an accessory structure at 2500 Dewitt Avenue because it was in a required vision clearance area. That means the property owner cannot move forward with that variance as submitted. The board also approved a special exception for an addition at 414 Duke Street, which allows that project to proceed under the board's conditions, if any apply outside the minutes provided.
