1. APPEAL #01-2007
Petitioner: John Skalla
Property: W182 S6521 Garnet Drive / Tax Key No. 2174.185
REQUESTING: Under the direction of Chapter 17 Zoning Ordinance: Section 3.02 Zoning Board of Appeals,
Petitioner seeks the following variances:
NOTE: There are two variances being requested within this appeal.
A. Chapter 17 - Zoning Ordinance: Section 5.03 - Building Height
(1) MAXIMUM HEIGHT RESTRICTED
In any district no building or structure shall be hereafter erected or structurally altered to
a height in excess of that hereinafter specified by the regulations for that district, except
as may be modified by this Code.
A maximum height of 15-feet is allowed for accessory structures as measured from the average grade at the
front of the building to the mid point of the highest gable. The petitioner seeks a height, as measured by
nd
code, of 20-feet for a 2 story addition to their existing detached garage, and is therefore requesting a 5-foot
variance to the accessory structure height requirement.
B. Chapter 17 - Zoning Ordinance: Section 6.02 - Non-Conformity
(2)C. Structure repairs and alterations to a non-conforming structure housing shall not, as long
as such use continues, exceed 50% of the assessed value of the structure at the time the
use became nonconforming.
The material costs for additions to non-conforming structures are limited to 50% of the assessed fair market
value (FMV). The existing garage on the property has a FMV of $8,000, which allows $4,000 (50% of $8,000)
to be put into materials for an addition. The petitioner seeks a garage addition with materials valued at
$14,120, and is therefore requesting a $10,120 variance.
