Heralys Beverage retail building at University & Henry
Summary
A proposed 60-by-30-foot retail store on a former parking lot hit four separate code hurdles — landscape islands, perimeter screening, driveway throat length and the 15-foot front setback. Neighbors warned of alley congestion, blocked garages and dangerous intersection sight lines. The board denied the variances 1-3, suggesting a smaller building could comply.
