APPEAL #05-2002 Petitioner: Danny Case Residence: W174 S7078 Forest Drive / Tax Key No. 2176.150 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 4.05(2)B.2 Accessory Structures Area: Subject to the open space requirements of the zoning district, the total square footage of all accessory structures subject to this Section are permitted as follows: Square footage permitted by right: The greater of 720 square feet, or 60% of the assessed floor area of the principal structure. Bonus square footage permitted for +10 square feet of floor area for each one additional side yard offsets foot of side yard offset above the district ZBA 8/15/2002 Page 2 minimum, provided that no such bonus shall exceed 300 square feet. Bonus Square footage permitted for +10 square feet of floor area for every 1,000 large parcels square feet of parcel size in excess of 40,000 square feet, provided that no such bonus shall result in the total floor area of all accessory structures to exceed two percent (2%) of the total parcel area. The property is allowed a total of 720 square feet of accessory structure exclusive of the garden shed. The existing garage totals 684 square feet, which would allow 36 square feet of additional accessory structure. The petitioner is requesting a 155 square foot variance to the Code to allow the construction of an addition to the existing detached garage proposed to total 975 square feet. Chapter 17—Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.02 Building Location (1) Location Restricted: No building shall be hereafter erected, structurally altered or relocated on a lot except in conformity with the following locational regulations as hereinafter specified for the district in which it is located. An offset of 10-feet is required from the north property line. The petitioner seeks an offset of 6.5-feet from the north property line and will maintain the existing 5.2-foot offset from the east property line to permit the construction of an addition to the existing detached garage, and is therefore requesting a 3.5-foot variance from the north property line. Chapter 17—Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.08 Existing Substandard Lots 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. Minimum open space for the property is required in the amount of 7,487 square feet (75% of the 9,983 SF lot). The current open space is 1,272 square feet less than required, resulting in 62.3-percent of the lot area preserved as open space). The Appellant is proposing to construct an addition to the detached garage, resulting in 61.5- percent of the lot area preserved as open space, and is therefore requesting a 1.2- percent variance to the Code requirement.
