A request for a 95 square foot variance from the maximum accessory structure 2,500 square footage, Section 35-370(b)(3), to allow a total of 2,595 square feet of accessory structures.

Executive Summary

The subject property is a single family home located in a cul-de-sac with alleyway access through the rear. The applicant is requesting the variance in order to permit the construction of an accessory garage which would be accessed through the alleyway. The subject property currently contains three (3) accessory structures. There is a detached living area measuring 250 square feet, an existing detached garage measuring 625 square feet with street access, and a shed measuring 120 square feet. The proposed detached garage is proposed to be 1,600 square feet. The construction of the garage at the proposed square-footage would exceed the allowance for accessory structures.
