BACKGROUND:
Sean Kelly, BiRite Enclosures, is requesting a Variance of 3 feet 6 inches to the minimum required rear yard setback of 10 feet to accommodate a screened room enclosure. The enclosure has been constructed over the existing patio (at grade slab). During permit review, the City review staff cited the encroachment and issued comments accordingly. The applicant’s office manager did not make him aware of the problem and he proceeded with construction.
The applicant has been engaged with City staff and is seeking a Variance to resolve the situation. He is aware the options are a Variance to the required rear yard setback or the removal of the screened room. He is aware permits will be required should the Board approve the request.
Although this property lies within the CRA Urban Design Standards Overlay, the project is exempt from the provisions of Sec. 12-2-25 since it is an addition to an existing structure.
Attached you will find the supporting documents as provided by the applicant. These include pictures of the actual screened room as well as letters of no objection from the adjacent property owners.
