Request
A request for a variance from the 50 percent limitation on front yard impervious cover, as described in Table 35-515-1, to allow the front yard to be primarily concrete.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located within the Mt. Laurel Subdivision, a neighborhood of quarter-acre lots created in 1967. The following few years, many large mid-century modern homes with nearly 2,000 square feet, were constructed. The applicant has owned this home since 2002 and over time has added cement throughout the yard areas, unaware of the limitation of no more than 50% of the front yard covered with impervious surface. He was cited by Code Compliance for violating this limitation and is hoping that the variance is granted to allow him to keep the concrete surface as is. Much of the entire yard, including the back and sides are covered as well.
