BACKGROUND:
Mr. Jonathan Ferguson is requesting the following variances to accommodate the future construction of a new single-family dwelling.
1. Reduction of the front yard setback from 30 feet to 20 feet.
2. Reduction of the rear yard setback from 30 feet to 20 feet.
3. Reduction of both side yard setbacks from 7.5 feet to 5 feet.
This property is located within the platted subdivision Grove which also falls in a split zoning of R-1A and R-1AAA. The original zoning was R-1AA and R-1AAA, however the developer submitted a rezone request for 28 of the 33 lots from R-1AA to R-1A in order to allow for reduced setback requirements for those lots. The remaining 5 lots are zoned R-1AAA and would remain under that current zoning designation. Mr. Ferguson’s lot is one of the parcels within the R-1AAA zoning.
Although the parcel is not a lot of record it is undersized for the R-1AAA zoning district at approximately 8590 SF. Also, this parcel is located within a cul-de-sac with a radius that angles the east boundary line making it 78.5 feet unlike the west boundary line of 120 feet.
