The existing accessory <br />structure encroaches three (3) feet nine (9) inches into the ten (10) foot setback along the <br />southern property line, leaving a setback of six (6) feet three (3) inch between the <br />structure and the south property line. <br />As indicated by the applicant, the proposed accessory structure would encroach twenty- <br />seven (27) feet ten (10) inches into the thirty (30) foot setback along Fairview Avenue <br />and two (2) feet nine (9) inches into the ten (10) foot setback along the southern property <br />line. This would leave a setback of two (2) foot two (2) inches from the west property <br />line and a setback of seven (7) feet three (3) inches from the south property line. The <br />proposed footprint of the structure would not be increased and would remain twenty-two <br />(22) feet by twenty-two (22) feet. As proposed the roofline of accessory structure would <br />change from an east/west orientation to a north/south orientation in order for the garage <br />to be accessible from the existing driveway. The design of the structure would also <br />incorporate one (1) foot eaves on the north/south facades and (1) foot six (6) inch eaves <br />east/west facades in order to match the existing home. <br /> <br />Setbacks – Accessory <br />Structure Setbacks Existing Setbacks Proposed Proposed w/eaves <br /> <br />Rear Yard/West Property Line 8” 2’ 2” 8” <br />Side Yard/South Property Line 6’ 3” 7’ 3” 6’ 3” <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 Through-Lots: <br />A lot that has a pair of opposite lot lines abutting two (2) substantially parallel streets, <br />and which is not a corner lot. On a through-lot, the determination of whether the street <br />frontage is to be considered a front yard or rear yard shall be as subject to the provisions <br />in the Zoning Code. <br /> <br />The Zoning Administrator may determine that one of the front yards may be deemed a <br />rear yard and shall determine appropriate rear yard setback regulations. Factors to be <br />considered shall include topography, location of structures on the lot, location of <br />structures on adjacent lots, and the type of streets or thoroughfares abutting the lot.
