(27%) 64 s.f. (2%) <br /> (25% of required rear yard) <br /> 1.2 Ms. Dobesh originally requested a variance to allow the construction of a 8' x ' <br /> (35%) at the same setback line (19'); however, this request was modified based on <br /> the comments of the Minor Variance Committee. <br /> Q HA CKGROUND <br /> 2.1 Julie Dobesh owns a home on a corner lot at 2151 Midlothian Road. The property <br /> is zoned R-1 single Family Residential and adjacent land uses are single family <br /> residential to the north and south, a church to the east, and an elementary school <br /> to the west. <br /> 2.2 Ms. Dobesh is requesting a variance from Sections 1004.01(A) and 1 004.0 (D)(4): <br /> City code, to reduce the corner side yard setback to 25 feet and increase the rear <br /> yard lot coverage to 7 in order to construct a new garage. The existing 16' <br /> 22.5' garage is set back approximately 19 feet from the front property line. E <br /> placing the new garage 25 feet from the corner side yard property line, a vehicle <br /> parked in the driveway will be completely on the applicant's property and a mature <br /> tree in the rear yard can be saved. The location of the property on a corner and <br /> the location of a mature tree create a physical hardship, while the location of <br /> the existing garage presents a practical difficulty for the applicant. <br /> FF#3032-RCA(06/08198)-Page 1 of 3 <br />
