Since the location of an accessory building on a parcel is considered a <br /> setback issue, this request has been processed as a minor variance. <br /> Requirement Proposal Variance <br /> Accessory building Accessory building Location of building <br /> in rear yard in front yard <br /> 2.0 BACKGROUND <br /> 2.1 Jeff& Trudi Martinco own a home at 2255 Cleveland Avenue North. The property <br /> is zoned R-1 and all adjacent land uses are single family residential. <br /> Mr. and Mrs. Martinco are requesting a variance from Section 1004.01(A) to allow <br /> the placement of the garage in the front yard of their one-acre parcel. The existing <br /> house, which was constructed in 1950, is set back 100 feet from the right-of-way. <br /> The Douse faces east and is a walk-cut on the west. Mr. & Mrs. Martinco are <br /> proposing to locate a 28' x 34' detached garage 60 feet from the roadway; however, <br /> this area is considered the front yard area because of the location of the house on <br /> the parcel. On most other properties, a garage set Lack this far from the right-of- <br /> way would be in the rear yard as required. The applicants have considered various <br /> alternatives for the location of a detached garage. The location of the sanitary <br /> sewer service to the house, the location of the windows on the main floor of the <br /> house, the irregular shape of the parcel, the wooded nature of the parcel, and the <br /> topography of the parcel were all taken into consideration. The only other possible <br /> location for a detached garage on the property is unrest of the house and in line with <br /> the house. if the garage were constructed in this location, access to the sanitary <br /> serer service would be limited, the windows on the main floor of the house would <br /> look out over the roof of the garage, the garage would be closer to the west property <br /> FF os -RCA(08110/98) - Page of 3 <br />
