PC Notes: #16-3872, Revision LLC, o/b/o Timothy & Amy Sullivan, 440 Brown Road S, The applicants would like to construct a 1,200 square foot detached accessory building which will resemble a barn closer to the street than the home on their property. The building is proposed to be set back approximately 175 feet from the front lot line; the home is set back approximately 220 feet. All other setbacks and zoning requirements will be met. Due to the location streetward of the house a setback variance is required . The property is 2 .5 acres in area. A single OAS with a maximum 1,200 square foot footprint is permitted. OAS covenants are required. The building official has completed a preliminary review of the project for compatibility with the septic system, and has requested additional information from the applicants to make a conclusive determination. The building official's comments are included in the packet. All outstanding septic issues must be resolved prior to the issuance of a building permit. Practical Difficulties Statement Staff has provided an analysis of the practical difficulties within the staff report. The applicant has completed the Practical Difficulties Documentation Form; the planning commission may ask for additional testimony regarding the application. Staff finds that the location of the existing home, septic sites, and wetland make locating a conforming accessory structure difficult. Staff believes the impact of a 1,200 square foot "two story" barn will be mitigated by both the existing wooded areas and the separation between the building and the homes on adjacent properties. Public Comments No public comments have been received. In closing, Planning staff recommends approval of the variance in conjunction with the property owners agreeing to the OAS covenants in the approval resolution . , ~"c, V\WX~ ,ff ~t~~/GJ1~2ed- ~~-0-0
