Request
A request for a three (3) foot variance from the foot five (5) foot side setback to allow a home 2 feet from the side property line setback, as described in Section 35-310.01.
Executive Summary
The applicant advised that the property belongs to her mother. The applicant wants to move to the property in order to take care of the elderly mother. Currently, there are two existing homes in the property. The applicant is proposing an addition in order to make the two properties into one single-family home. The proposed addition complies with the five (5) foot setback requirement. However, one of the existing homes that were built in 1952 does not comply with the current setback. This home is the rear home and it encroaches in to the 5 foot setback requirement by three (3) feet. There is power line utility easement that encompasses a big portion of the lot. This easement prevents the applicant from changing the location of the proposed addition. All of the new construction will satisfy minimum setbacks.
