CONSENT Item Description: Jeff & Trudi Martinco request for a minor variance to allow the placement of an accessory building in the front yard of a parcel at 2255 Cleveland Avenue North (PF 3062). 1.0 REQUESTED ACTION 1.1 Jeff & Trudi Martinco are requesting a variance to allow the placement of an accessory building in the front yard area of their property at 2255 Cleveland Avenue North. Since ,thetlocatiolt of an accessory building on a parcel is considered a setback issue, this request has been processed as a minor variance, Requirement Proposal Variance Accessory building in rear yard Accessory building in front yard Location of building 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Jeff & Trudi Martinco own a home at 2255 Cleveland Avenue North. The property is zoned R-1 and all adjacent land uses are single family residential. 2,2 Mr. and Mrs. Martinco are requesting a variance from Section 1004.01(A) to allow the placement of the garage in the front yard of their one-acre parcel. The existing house, which was constructed in 1950, is set back 100 feet from the right-af-way. The house faces east and is a walk-out on the west. Mr. & Mrs. Martinca are proposing to locate a 28' x 34' detached garage 60 feet from the roadway; however, this area is considered the front yard area because of the location of the house on the parcel. On most other properties, a garage set back this far from the right-of- way would be in the rear yard as required, The applicants have considered various alternatives for the location of a detached garage. The location of the sanitary sewer service to the house, the location of the windows on the main floor of the house, the irregular shape of the parcel, the wooded nature of the parcel, and the topography of the parcel were all taken into consideration. The only other possible location for a detached garage on the property is west of the house and in line with the house. If the garage were constructed in this location, access to the sanitary sewer service would be limited, the windows on the main floor of the house would look out over the roof of the garage, the garage would be closer to the west property PF3062 - RCA (08/10/98) - Page 1 of 3
