The applicant is proposing to construct an accessory <br />garage. At the time of the application, Staff understood that the accessory garage was going to <br />be located on the same lot as the applicant's home. The garage was sited closer to the front <br />property line than the home and staff advertised a public hearing for a variance to locate the <br />structure as proposed. Following a site visit and subsequent conversation with the applicant, it <br />was concluded that the garage was proposed to be constructed on the vacant lot south of the <br />homestead. Therefore, the placement of the structure must be viewed on the merits of the vacant, <br />separate lot of record on which it is to be constructed not in relationship to his home on a <br />separate lot of record to the north. The proposed garage is obligated to a standard 40 foot front <br />yard setback only and although the applicant's site plan indicates a 39 foot front yard setback, he <br />verbally indicated that there is no problem moving the building east one foot to meet the 40 foot <br />standard setback. Therefore, a variance is not required. <br /> <br />Public Hearing/Board of Adjustment/November 2, 1998 <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
