Request
A request for a 1.75' variance from the 20' garage setback, as described in Section 35-516, to allow a garage to be 18.25' from the front property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 9906 Cochem Path within a cul-de-sac, 124' west of Corven Lane. The applicant is requesting to leave a garage, as built, 18.25' away from the property line. This request comes at the advisement of the applicant's realtor who suggests a variance should be sought before selling of the house due to bank and mortgage requirements.
The residence is newly built in 2012 and the garage is attached as part of the residence. As there is a curvature present due to the cul-de-sac, as in irregular lots, code dictates taking the furthest and closest points from the garage to the property line and averaging them.
