Request
A request for a ten foot variance from the 20 foot rear setback requirement, as described in Section35-310.01, to allow a second home ten feet from the rear property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 714 Green Street approximately 122 feet east of Mauerman Street. The applicant is seeking a variance to allow a second home ten feet from the rear property line. The large second home is permitted as a result of the "RM-6" Residential-Mixed zoning classification. The site was the subject of a recent rezoning - case z2014274. Prior to the rezoning case the applicant started construction of the second dwelling without the benefit of permits and was cited by code.
City Council approved the rezoning request to allow for a second dwelling to be legally established on the property. Despite the rezoning the structure was constructed too close to the required rear setback and is only ten feet from the rear property line. Currently, the second dwelling is unfinished. Code enforcement issued a violation and the applicant's were told to cease construction pending a permit. The two-story dwelling, in conjunction with its close proximity to neighboring houses, is out of character and poses a significant fire risk to nearby properties in its current location.
