Title
Public hearing to consider the appeal of Stephen Prokop to a decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) denying a variance to allow continued use of three off-street parking spaces as part of the 2013 street reconstruction project in the Madison/Benson RSVP area.  
 
Body
The applicant, Stephen Prokop, applied for a variance from the parking code requirement of Section 63.501(b)(2) in order to legalize one existing and two recently paved parking spaces in the front yard as part of the 2013 Madison/Benson Residential Street Vitality Project (RSVP).  A public hearing was held on April 1, 2013.  Staff recommended denial of the variance request.  There was no opposition present at the hearing and after hearing testimony from the applicant, the BZA moved to partially deny the requested variance. The BZA approved the variance for one parking space and denied the variance for the two easternmost parking spaces in the front yard at 2275 Benson Avenue.  The applicant is appealing the denial of the 2 spaces.
