1. APPEAL #01-2009
Petitioner: Justin & Jamie Arney
Property: S70 W19079 Wentland Drive / Tax Key No. 2180.955
REQUESTING: Under the direction of Chapter 17 Zoning Ordinance: Section 3.02 Zoning Board of Appeals, Petitioner
seeks the following variances:
1. 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.
Based upon the average setbacks of the neighboring properties, a setback of 27.4 feet is required from the right-of-
way/front lot line on the above mentioned lot. The petitioner seeks a setback of 27.04 feet from the northern (front)
right-of-way line to permit the construction of a house addition, and is therefore requesting a 0.36-foot variance from
the northern (front) right-of-way line.
2. 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.
Due to the location of the existing non-conforming home, an offset of 10.01 feet is required from the eastern (side) lot
line on the above mentioned lot. The petitioner is seeking an offset of 4.83 feet from the eastern (side) lot line to
permit the construction of an attached garage, and is therefore requesting a 5.18-foot variance from the eastern
(side) lot line.
3. Chapter 17—Zoning Ordinance: Section 6.02 - Non-Conforming Parcels
(3) 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 minimum open space required for the property is 6,237 square feet (75% of the 8,316 square foot lot). The
appellant is proposing to construct a house and garage addition on to their existing house and also the removal of a
concrete patio and an asphalt driveway, resulting in 73-percent (6,077 square feet) of the lot area being preserved as
open space, and is therefore requesting a 2-percent (160 square foot) variance to the Code requirement.
