The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance for any use that is not permitted under this Chapter for the property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. The Zoning Code does not allow for an oversize structure on the zoning lot to exceed 1,000 sq. ft. on lots less than 2 acre in size. Additionally, the height of the accessory structure cannot be greater than the height of the principal structure or 30', whichever is less. The height would be limited to 11'6". The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. Not applicable. The special conditions applying to the structure of land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. There are special conditions that regulate the height of the accessory structure due to the height of the princip.il structure. 9.

The variance being requested is specific to the existing height of the residence on the lot and its architectural style. 10.
