Variance

BACKGROUND:
Bill and Kathy Winter are requesting a variance to the side yard setback requirements in Sec. 12-3-10(1)h, Figure 12-3.1 and to the rear yard coverage requirements in Sec. 12-3-55(4). The variance requests are:
1) To increase the maximum allowable rear yard coverage from 25% (200 sf) to 37.5% (300 sf); and
2) To reduce the required west side yard setback from 5’ to 3.1’ (a reduction of 1’ 11”).
The variance request is meant to accommodate a future garage which will provide the property owners off-street parking in the historic commercial district.
A similar application under a separate project and to this property was granted in May 2018. That approved request was to increase the rear yard coverage from 25% (200 sf) to 36.25% (290 sf) for a detached garage. The 2018 plans also approved the proposed accessory structure to be located 3’ from the west property line in lieu of the required 5’ (a reduction of 2’).
Please find attached all relevant documentation for your review.
