-14- Millers only want to sell the Dehen's the minimum amount of property necessary to facilitate the footprint of the garage; they are not willing to sell the Dehen's additional property to provide for the 10 foot side yard setback. They plan to gant an easement to the Dehen's to trespass onto their property when it is necessary to do so in order to conduct maintenance activities on the north wall or roof of the garage. Therefore, the Dehen's need a variance for a zero setback on the north side yard. The nearest structure on the Miller property is a detached garage that is approximately 23 feet away from the Dehen's proposed new garage. The Dehe~_,n:~i!:Septic system is not in conformance with current standards. It is also located less tham~5;:'feet from the ordinary high water mark and this is in violation of the Mississippi Critic~;~::~ standards. The Dehen's would like to abandon this system and build a new one be~~(~ouse and road. The new septic tank must be 50 feet fi'om the water well. In order ~t th~irement, a 5 foot variance to the 10 foot setback from buildings is necessary.~i}g }}~hoted th~4~'!Septic tank will be near that part of the house proposed to be converted fro age to family r~'~T~':!there is no basement or habitable space under the new family room.~ ~'-i~:'staff recommended a~:~a(of the vmance request.
