Retention of the pool°and detached garage upon removal of the principal structure is <br /> reasonable given that a new home is intended to be ixrunediately rebuilt on the <br /> property, hence a variance to Section 78-1432 is justified; however, if new home <br /> construction has not been commenced within one year of removal of the principal <br /> structure, it would be reasonable to require the accessory shuctures to be removed. <br /> • 6.
