RE: 1709 N. Spruce
Reduced Rear and Side Yard Variance Request
Mr. Price:
Please accept this letter to serve as our application for the above reference
submittal. We wish to be placed on the next Board of Adjustment Meeting
agenda. We are requesting a variance to Section 36-254 to reduce the side
setbacks and allow the owner to build in the rear yard setback. The new
construction work is consistent with similar residential examples in the
neighborhood and will increase the security and accessibility of the property.
The owner would like to connect the house to a new carport with a new Mud
Room and a covered connection. The new carport will extend approximately 5’
into the side yard setback. Existing non-conforming storage structures in the rear
yard will be removed. A pool will also be constructed in the rear yard
approximately 11’ x 16’ in size a minimum of 6’ off the rear property line.
The owner is also expanding the Breakfast Room the corner of which will extend
into the side yard approximately 40”.
If any additional information is desired, please let us know. We thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Tom Fennell, AIA
