EXCEPTION:
The owner is requesting an exception to the residential development standards regarding interior side yard setbacks. Article 6 of The Unified Development Code prohibits the primary building from being within 5 feet of a property line. The applicant intends to build a new house on Lot 1-R2 and will immediately demolish the primary structure lot 1-R1 once the new primary residence is built.
The applicant is therefore requesting a variance to allow the plat to be filed with the existing house sitting 3 feet from the property line. If the plat is not filed prior to construction, the applicant must agree in writing to demolish the primary structure of the northern most lot once a new building is completed on the south lot.
RECOMMENDATION:
If the variance is approved, DRC recommends approval as presented.
