BOA-0004-2026: 5410 Thayer Drive

Raleigh, NC March 9, 2026 - March 9, 2026

This item concerns a request for a 1.5-foot side setback variance from Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Section 6.7.2.F3. The property owners, Alan Rhett Fussell and Joseph S. Kolousek, are seeking this variance to construct a detached garage at 5410 Thayer Drive. The property is zoned R-4. The applicants argue that strict application of the ordinance would necessitate additional impervious surfaces and alter the garage's angle and access. They also state that utilizing the location of an existing foundation from a previous structure would preserve existing soil conditions and limit drainage changes. The proposed garage is a double-car metal garage.
