(32.12%) Applicable Regulations: Rear Yard Setback – Accessory Structures (Sections 78-330 and 78-1435) The applicant is proposing to construct a new 978 square foot detached garage on the property. Detached garages must adhere to the accessory building setbacks for each zoning district. The property is located within the LR-1B District. While the placement of the new accessory building meets the required setbacks per the LR-1B District, the property is also subject to Section 78-1435 regulating garages on lake lots. This section requires that accessory buildings on lake lots with garage doors facing a street shall meet the applicable principal building setbacks for the district. This regulation changes the required setback for the new detached garage from 10 feet to 30 feet due to the garage doors facing the Tonkawa Road. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow the new accessory building to be located 10 feet from the rear property line due to significant topographical changes on the property making it difficult for the construction of the accessory building to be located elsewhere on the lot. Driveway Width Variance (Section 78-1681) The proposed detached garage is located 10 feet from the rear property line and has three bays. The City Code limits driveway widths to 20 feet at the property boundary. Due to the significant topographical changes on the lot, the new garage is placed closer to the rear property line with the garage doors facing the street. The City Code (78-1681) requires the driveway to maintain the minimum width of the garage doors to extend 15’ before tapering. The proposed garage is 39 feet wide and the 10-foot setback does not allow for the tapering of the driveway to the 20-foot maximum width. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow a 34-foot-wide driveway at the property line where a 20-foot width is permitted. The existing property has an existing shared driveway with the neighbor that will partially need
