Ricky Proehl's Greensboro house: Offsides or just lined up in the neutral zone?
I got a copy of this month's Greensboro Board of Adjustment agenda and was surprised to see a familiar name, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ricky Proehl.
It seems that Proehl wanted to build a "detached accessory building" near his home at 3504 Bromley Woods Lane. Let me set the scene: A 5990 square foot, $1.1 million home set on 5.8 acres. But the permit for the accessory building was denied because it was to be located in front of the primary residence.
In plain English, the development regulations want to keep people from building garages and the such in front of their homes. At first glance, Proehl's garage didn't follow that rule. The City of Greensboro called him offsides.
Proehl, through his attorney, threw a red flag on the field to challenge that call.
But, upon further review, the city reversed the call and ruled that since Bromley Woods Lane is curved, the building line should follow that curve as well, therefore allowing the building. No timeout charged.
"It's a non-issue," said Zoning Administrator Bill Ruska.
The item will be pulled from the agenda, Ruska said.
