Title
Rutledge Property - Side Setback Variance
Body
SUMMARY: Mr. Rutledge, owner of the properties that include The Stagecoach Restaurant and the property behind it, located off HWY 127 South, near the entrance to the Cumberland Mountain State Park, has requested a side setback variance. He has constructed a detached garage/workshop on the property behind the restaurant and is now wishing to add a 10’x30’ addition to the garage/workshop. The current building is 14 feet from the adjoining property line that has the restaurant located on it. By adding this addition, the building would be 4 feet from the property line. The closest permanent building, being the restaurant, would be approximately 60 feet from the proposed addition.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the 6-foot setback variance, which would bring the setback in the location of the proposed addition to 4 feet. The portion just across the property line is a driveway for Mr. Rutledge, that has an ingress/egress easement on the property. No structure could be built on the Restaurant side of the property line that would make it closer than 10 feet separation, which is the minimum distance for fire code.
Recommended Action
NECESSARY PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Approve the side setback variance.
