A conditional use pennil is required to <br />construct any accessoiy 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 v isual impact of the proposed bam an on-site inspection was conducted <br />by staff which revealed tree and vegetation coverage. Staff finds that the maintenance of <br />Imge 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®/o lot coverage by structure limit by <br />appro.ximatcly 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.
