Request
A request for a two and a half foot variance from the five foot side yard setback, as required in Section 35-371, to allow an accessory dwelling unit two and a half feet from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located with the Northridge Park Subdivision, recorded in 1952. The neighborhood is characterized by mid-century ranch houses and mature trees. The lot measures 74 feet by 120 feet, and includes a heritage tree in the back yard. The applicant is seeking a variance to allow an "in-line" addition to the existing garage to convert it to an accessory dwelling unit. The garage is currently set back about 2.5 feet from the side property line. The applicant is seeking approval to add a 9 foot deep addition, which would create a 480 square foot dwelling unit. This size satisfies the limitation of 40% of the size of the main house, which would allow a unit with 750 square feet. The applicant states that the proposed addition is preferred to other options which include those that would change the appearance of the main house or damage the heritage tree.
