Currently, the house is located at the far southwestern comer of the property. Removal of the house from its existing location requires a variance because the lot is less than 5 acres in the RR-1A district. Actual lot size is 4.8 acres. Excluding the areas designated as w etland the lot has a defined lot area of approximately 4.0 acres dry buildable. An accessory building is located behind the house. If the house is relocated the building w ould be closer to the front property line than the principal residence. The Zoning Ordinance prohibits accessory buildings from being located closer to the front property line than the principal building. A variance would be required to permit the existing accessory building to remain on the property subsequent to relocation of the house. The attached approval resolution requires the property owner complete construction of the accessory building and have a final inspection of the building approved prior to moving the principal building. The accessory building has had an active building permit since 1992. The building will be completed in the ne.xt 2 months. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to adopt the attached resolution approving variances. CL
