165 Cristofori Circle Description of Request: 1. Request of front yard setback on an oversized accessory structure Background/ Current Condition: The property of 165 Cristofori circle is a 2.8 acre property that occupy a single family home. The property is heavily wooded in all surrounding areas of the yard except for a flat cleared yard that exist on the front side of the property. The property is low in elevation to the street down a long driveway. The property was carved out of a development and a majority of the driveway and street are in an easement with the adjoining property owner. That Property Owner owns the land on all 4 sides of the property. Other adjoining properties range from 2-22 acres sites and beyond that are bordered with county land and the Luce Line and City Park/Wooded property. The property itself is private due to the heavily wooded lot and elevation changes of the land from the street. Only the roof lines of the home can be visible from the driveway entrance. On the property there is a clear grass area that is relatively flat in elevation. This is where we are proposing to construct the structure. The intent of the Zoning rule is to minimize the impact of structures from other properties. This property is unique as defined for these reasons. Action for Request: A. Front Yard Setback We are proposing to construct an accessory structure at 165 Cristofori Circle. We are seeking proposal to place it in a flat grass open area on the front side of the property. By placing it here we will not be required to cut down trees and make significant changes to the grading of the existing land that otherwise would done in other locations. With this, the intent of this location is to minimize the environmental impact to the land. This structure has been designed to match to fit and finish details of the existing home and blend in with the primary structure. The use of the structure is to store additional vehicles, lawn equipment, and a small trailer that is currently in the yard and visible. This allows for items to be stored away inside. Due to the circumstance of the change in elevation and heavily wood area around the property we are seeking to request a variance that we find creates the most optimal location for the property, the environment, and other surrounding property owners. Thank you for the time to review our request.
