BACKGROUND:
Dr. Daniel Hohman is requesting approval to reduce the south rear yard setback from the required 5 feet to 3 feet and to increase the allowable rear yard coverage from 25% (1,000 sf) to 26% (1,038 sf) to accommodate a new detached accessory residential unit over garage. The applicant is requesting the variance due to several unusual property features which dictate placement of a proposed new building. These conditions include the site’s topography, the underlying archaeology associated with Fort San Bernardo, and the inconsistent south property line. Conceptual review for the proposed structure is also for review and as the next agenda item.
Please find attached all relevant documentation for your review.
