BACKGROUND:
Steve Jernigan is requesting multiple variances to accommodate the construction of a detached garage. The applicant is seeking to reduce the required secondary frontage yard from 15.0 feet to 0.0 feet and to increase the maximum rear yard coverage from 25% to 38.8%. The applicant is proposing to construct a detached garage to align with the existing residence on the west side of the property. The applicant desires to preserve a large tree as opposed to shifting the building to the south into the buildable area.
The existing residence was originally a retail store constructed in 1914 with a residence adjacent to the east. At some point in the 1980s, the parcel was divided with a building on each new lot. As such, this does not meet the date certain for the “Lot of Record” setback reductions to apply.
