BACKGROUND:
Eric Reese, Reese Construction, is requesting multiple variances to accommodate additions to an existing single-family residence on behalf of the property owner Derek Lother. The proposed variances would reduce the required front yard from 30 feet to 3.75 feet and the required rear yard from 30 feet to 8.4 feet.
Since this is a corner lot which is almost square in shape, the tier of the lot may be interpreted in either direction. Based upon the survey, staff determined the existing structure to be most conforming with the “front” applied to North 11th Avenue. As such, the applicable variances will apply to the sides of the building.
It is worth noting the following:
1. The existing structure does not comply with the required setbacks for the front or rear. With the “front” applied to North 11th Avenue, the existing front yard measures 19.85 feet and required rear yard measures approximately 13.5 feet.
2. The current lot is not a “lot of record” in that it is not undersized for the district in area or lot width.
