FILE #04-3011 <br />May 11, 2004 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Background <br />The applicants, Thad and Danielle Steele, have recently purchased the property at 4050 <br />Bayside Road. They are requesting variances from City Code Sections 78-395(b) and 78- <br />1435 in order to construct a detached garage nearer to the front property line than the <br />existing home and at a 75' setback rather than 100' as required by Code. <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORSHEET <br />Lot Area/Width: <br />RR-lA Lot Area Lot Width <br />Required 217,800 s.f. (5 acres) 300' <br />Actual 555,796 s.f. (12.7 acres) 400'+ <br />Setbacks: <br />RR-lA Required Existing Proposed <br />Front 100' 260' 75' <br />Rear 100' 600'+ No Change <br />West Side 50' 140' (house) 140' (house) <br />229' (garage) <br />East Side 50' 320' (house) 320' (house) <br />240' (garage) <br />Structural Coverage: <br />As this property exceeds 2 acres the 15% maximum structural coverage limit does not <br />apply. <br />Front Yard Setback Variance & In Front of the Principal Building <br />The applicant has proposed to construct a 24' x 32' detached garage 75' from the front <br />property line and 160' closer to the front property line than the existing home. The rear 4.6 <br />acres of the property is wetland and protected by a drainage easement. The topography of <br />the lot near the home and the location of the existing well and septic system make locating <br />a detached garage difficult in this area. The applicants wish to utilize the existing driveway <br />for access to the proposed garage. <br />The location of the proposed garage will have little or no impact on the adjacent properties. <br />The existing dense vegetation will screen the neighboring properties and Bayside Road <br />from views of the proposed garage in all seasons. <br />Hardship Statement <br />Applicant has completed the Hardship Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B, and <br />should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. <br />2
