ITEM NO.: 3 (CON'T) Z-9454-A
While other setback variances have been granted in the general area, the subject
massing/lot coverage is not in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. Staff
does not view the request as reasonable and neither supports the requested rear
and side yard setback variances, nor the reduced accessory structure (pool)
separation variance.
As of this writing, two neighboring owners have called the Planning and
Development Office to ask questions and express concerns in August 2020, and a
separate complaint was registered by a neighbor in June 2020, leading to issuance
of the "stop work order" by the City.
E.Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends denial of the requested rear setback, side yard setback and
accessory structure separation variances.
Board of Adjustment (September 3, 2020)
The applicant was not present. There was a motion to defer the item at the
