Summary
On February 25, 2026, the Ann Arbor Zoning Board of Appeals will evaluate a request for a four-foot variance at 1125 Arlington Boulevard. The property owner, represented by Daniel Sonntag, seeks to construct a 1,578 square foot pool enclosure over an existing in-ground pool located in the side yard. Current zoning regulations necessitate a minimum side yard setback of seven feet, which the proposed structure would not meet. The variance is significant as it would allow the pool area to be developed into a year-round amenity, addressing concerns about maintenance and safety for the new owner. The board must consider criteria such as unique property conditions and the potential impact on neighboring properties before making a decision.
