8. That the Applicant is proposing to construct the detached accessory building to provide <br />additional storage space for vehicles/equipment as well as providing space for their hobby <br />woodworking. <br />9. That on properties less than two (2) acres in size, City Code Section 117-349 (d)(12) requires <br />detached accessory buildings to be in the side or rear yard only and shall not be located nearer <br />the front property line than the principal building. <br />10. That City Code Section 117-111 (d) specifies that the minimum front yard setback shall not <br />be less than forty (40) feet. <br />11. That a portion of the detached accessory building would be nearer the front property line <br />than the principal building. <br />12. That based on the information submitted, it is unknown what the front yard setback would <br />be. <br />13. That the addition would be located ten (10) feet from the side property line, which meets the <br />minimum required setback. <br />14. That the Subject property is relatively flat without significant grade changes other than along <br />the southern lot line (approximately a two [2] foot slope). <br />15. That an existing chain link fence will need to be eliminated or modified to accommodate the <br />proposed location for the detached accessory building. <br />16. That the Applicant has stated that adding on to the attached garage is not practical due to <br />design constraints and maintaining access to the rear yard for septic pumping. <br />17. That based on the as -built drawing of the septic system, the drainfield and tank are located <br />in the central portion of the rear yard. <br />18. That based on the submitted information and available data, it appears the proposed detached <br />accessory building could be shifted to the east slightly (toward the rear yard) or be located in <br />an alternative location (possibly near the southeast corner of the Subject Property), which <br />would eliminate the need for a variance. <br />19. That the principal building is set back approximately fifty (50) feet from the front property <br />line. <br />20. That the owner of the property to the south of the Subject Property has stated their opposition <br />to the requested variance. <br />21. That the Engineering Department has reviewed the request with regard to potential drainage <br />impacts and has stated that any additional runoff would likely be contained within the <br />RESOLUTION #15-10-257 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
