6.3.2026 - City of Jasper Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting
Wednesday, Jun 3, 2026
Variance Granted for Front Setback at New Lynn Drive Home
The board of zoning appeals granted a variance to Keith Shrader for a primary structure at 1449 Lynn Drive to not meet the minimum front setback requirement [cite: 540-546]. The existing requirement is 30 feet from the right-of-way, and the structure's jut-out is at 22 feet 8 inches, approximately 7 feet 4 inches out of compliance [cite: 613-615, 617, 671]. Shrader stated that the issue arose due to his contractor's error during the basement pour [cite: 554-555, 564-565, 586-589]. He consulted with his neighbors, who expressed indifference to the setback deviation [cite: 577-584, 624-629]. The board found that the variance would not be injurious to public health, safety, or welfare, would not adversely affect adjacent property values, and that strict application of the ordinance would result in practical difficulties [cite: 675-691].
Autism School Receives Special Exception Approval in Jasper
The board of zoning appeals granted a special exception to Total Care Autism Academy Jasper LLC to operate a school for children with autism at 6713rd Avenue Unit 8 [cite: 91-92, 500-505]. The school will cater to 5-10 children aged 5-7, focusing on ABA therapy with a near one-to-one student-to-therapist ratio [cite: 115-124]. The location is a 4,000 square foot space previously set up for commercial use, requiring no construction [cite: 264-270]. The school will operate from 8:15 AM to 3:15 PM, with parking available behind the building and the option for students to walk from the adjacent Total Care clinic [cite: 128-136, 140-142, 146-148]. The board found the use consistent with neighborhood standards, ensuring adequate utilities, access, drainage, and minimizing traffic congestion [cite: 513-537].
