Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval of the variances as requested. Background The property is currently undeveloped, and is fronted on three side by right of way. To the north is County Road 19, to the south is Rest Point Lane, and the west is unimproved alley. The applicant proposes a two story, 1686 sq ft (footprint) residential structure. The lot is substandard, due to size and width. The house proposed is narrow to minimize encroachments into the setbacks. The ordinance does allow terraces, steps, uncovered porches which do not extend above the ground floor level of the building to extend into a required yard. The covered entry way is required to meet the setback. Because a setback variance is requested, a variance from the lot size and width is necessary. The proposed covered entry encroaches into the side street setback 6 feet. Setbacks from the county road and Rest Point Lane are preserved. Access will be via the unimproved alley to the west. This alley also provides connections to the two residential parcels to the west via driveways.
