Addition <br />Structure Setbacks — Variance Requested <br />In the R-1 District, the minimum front and rear setback requirements are 40 feet and 30 feet, <br />respectively. The minimum side yard setback is 10 feet and the minimum total of both side yards <br />on a lot is 25 feet. The current structure complies with the minimum rear and side yard setback <br />requirements in the R-1 District though it does not comply with the minimum front yard setback <br />requirement. <br />The proposed covered front porch addition would have a front yard setback of 29.6 feet as <br />measured from the west property line. Today, as verified by the Certificate of Survey submitted <br />with the variance application, the existing front yard setback is 36.5 feet. The principal structure <br />was constructed in 1965 and permitted for construction with a 40-foot setback. The Applicant is <br />requesting a variance to decrease the required front yard setback from 40 feet to 29.6 feet. The <br />proposed covered front porch addition would conform to rear and side yard setback requirements. <br />Required <br />Existin <br />Proposed Covered <br />front porch addition <br />Front Setback <br />40 <br />36.5 feet <br />29.6 feet <br />Rear Setback <br />30 <br />+/-79 feet <br />+/-79 feet <br />Side Yard Minimum <br />10 <br />14.4 and 24.2 feet <br />14.4 and 24.2 feet <br />not im acted <br />Side Yard Total Both <br />Side Yards <br />25 <br />38.6 feet <br />38.6 feet <br />(not impacted) <br />Landscaped Area — Meets Requirements <br />In the R-1 District, the minimum landscaped area required without a variance is 65% of the <br />property or 14,849.9 square feet.
