Background/Overview of Request <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing to construct a new twenty six (26) foot by twenty-eight (28) foot <br />or 728 square foot detached accessory structure. As proposed, the new structure would <br />replace the deteriorating existing structure that is 400 square feet or twenty (20) feet by <br />twenty (20) feet in size. The proposed accessory structure would be placed in the rear yard <br />and in the same general location as the existing structure along the east property line. As <br />defined by the City Code the existing detached structure is considered to be non-conforming <br />as the structure encroaches five (5) feet into the ten (10) foot accessory structure setback <br />along the east property line. In this case, the City Code requires a variance in order to <br />expand a non-conforming use.
