(15%) <br />Proposed: 3.972 s.f. (4.6 %) <br />Conditional Use Permit Review <br />The property is located at 2900 Watertown Road, with Watertown Road to the south and <br />Wear Circle to the north, and is a through lot. A conditional use permit is required to <br />construct any accessory structure on a through lot. The intent of the Zoning Ordinance is <br />to ensure that the project is reviewed to protect sight-lines from roadways and <br />neighboring properties. There are a number of mature trees to the rear of the property <br />which will assist in screening the bam from Wear Circle. <br />Oversized Accessory Structure Variance <br />To evaluate the visual impact of the proposed bant an on-site inspection was conducted <br />by staff which revealed tree and vegetation coverage. Staff finds that the maintenance of <br />large trees on site, the location for the proposed bam, along with the homeowner ’s desire <br />to re-use a portion of the old barn’s foundation would be supportive of the variance in <br />this case. Additionally, the new bam is proposed to be 1,116 s.f. less in area than the old <br />bam which was destroyed. The new bam is proposed to be 14* high, shorter than the 2- <br />story home on the property. The proposed bam will meet all required setbacks for the <br />RR-IB zoning district. The property is under the 15% lot coverage by stmeture limit by <br />approximately 9,000 s.f. (13,045 s.f. allowed, 3,972 s.f. proposed). <br />Hardship Statement <br />Applicant has provided a hardship statement in Exhibit B, and should be asked for <br />additional testimony regarding the application. <br />J <br />k.L^ ir^a kJ.
