Variance Requested: To permit addition to be 39* from front property line. <br />Application Summary: The applicant has requested a front yard setback variance to construct a <br />2 '/: story addition over the existing garage. The screen porch above the garage will be removed and <br />the addition will be constructed in its place. <br />I he existing residence is located 36.8* from the front property line. The garage is setback 2.2’ <br />therefore 39* from the front property line. The applicant wishes to build above the existing <br />garage. The topography of the property, location of the existing residence, flow of the residence <br />and the structural soundness limits where an addition can take place. <br />Discussion: <br />The existing residence was built in 1965. The property is located in a two acre zoning district. <br />However, the neighborhood is more in character with one acre zoning standards. If one acre <br />zoning standards were applied to this property the existing residence would meet the 35’ required <br />front setback. <br />«0:-28l2 Marvia'Mary Smith <br />1940 Country Club Road <br />8/15 2002 <br />Page I of 2
