APPEAL #08-2001
Petitioner: Thomas and Mary Kies
Residence: S79 W16099 Bay Lane Place / Tax Key No. 2217.987
Location of Appeal: Same
REQUESTING: Under the direction of Chapter 17 Zoning Ordinance: Section 3.08(1) Appeal
Provisions, Petitioner seeks the following variances:
Chapter 17—Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.08 EXISTING SUBSTANDARD LOTS
Where a lot has less land area or width than required for the district in which it is located and was
of record at the time of the passage of this Ordinance, such lot may be used for any purpose
permitted in such district, subject to the regulations governing substandard lots set forth under
sec. 18.23; provided, however, that in no case shall the setback, or offset requirements be
reduced except by order of the Board of Appeals after due hearing, or as otherwise herein
provided. The open space requirements in the case of such lot may be reduced without appeal
provided the open area is equal to at least 75% of the actual lot area.
The parcel measures 8,620 SF in area. A minimum of 2,155 SF of open space is required to be
maintained on the property. The residence footprint measures 2,140 SF, allowing 15 SF of open
space. The petitioner was required to remove the existing 12’ x 16’ shed located on the property to
accommodate the residence without violating the open space requirement. In addition, the driveway
may not be paved in order to comply with the requirement.
The petitioner seeks an exception to the open space requirement to allow the existing shed to
remain, and to pave the drive area. The shed measures 192 SF in area, and the proposed drive way
will measure 632 SF. The petitioner is requesting a variance to the open space requirement in the
amount of 809 SF, or 34% of the lot area.
