Title
119 Our Way Loop (The Gardens) - Setback Variance
Body
SUMMARY: The property owner at 119 Our Way Loop, located within The Gardens development, is requesting a 5 foot setback variance to accommodate a new garage addition. While the initial request cited a 4 foot variance, the necessary adjustment was determined after factoring in the overhang of the proposed garage structure. In the area of The Gardens where his lot is located, the front setback is 20 feet. Granting this variance will reduce that front setback to 15 feet. The property owner has permission from The Gardens HOA/POA as well as his adjacent property owner, which shares the zero lot line common property boundary. The property owner has already been in contact with the City Utility Dept. to coordinate the relocation of his grinder pump and ensured that no utilities are located in the area in which they are proposing the addition.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the setback variance of 5 feet. The property is located in a unique area with a looping turn that has an unusual amount of front setback along the property.
Recommended Action
NECESSARY PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Approve the setback variance request.
