Page 3 of 7 Zoning Board of Adjustment Minutes of April 28, 1994 Mr. Lewis stated the request is for the property located at 233 South Carroll. The lot is presently vacant and is being proposed for development. The variance is being requested by Bill Herrick of Atlantis Homes. Mr. Herrick has requested variance to the following provisions of the Zoning Ordinance: Section 5-700, Table B: Residential (side yard) setbacks. Section 10-604.6: Residential garage requirements. Section 10-605.6: Driveway surfacing requirements. Section 10-605, Figure 10-2: Driveway setback requirements. Staff denied a permit request for Mr. Herrick to build a house at this location. The permit was denied for failure to comply with Section 10-605.6 of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Lewis stated that Mr. Herrick's proposed layout does not provide an accessible garage location. Even though you are not required to build a garage for your home, you are required to locate the house on the property in such a way that does not preclude the possibility of a garage being built in the future. Mr. Herrick is attempting to provide an attractive moderately price home that offers the buyer as much house as possible for the money. The lot size is 50' x 125' and is somewhat limiting. Mr. Lewis reported that staff had reviewed 4 different layout options for the property. Of the four, staff favored what was referred to as Component I in the Staff Report. Component I requests side setbacks of two feet and eight feet and a driveway setback of zero adjacent to the side property line. It also requests that gravel be approved as an acceptable driveway jparking surface. Staffs recommendation to the Board was to grant Variance Request #V94-004, subject to the following conditions: · Side setback shall be reduced to a minimum of two feet, on one side of the property only. No portion of the structure, including roof overhang shall extend closer than two feet from the side property line. · Side setback on the opposite side shall be increased to a minimum of eight feet.
