(Petitioner to fill out 1-3+first two blanks)
Docket No.: PZ-2020-00160 V
Petitioner The Old Town Design Group, LLC
1. The approval of this variance will not be injurious to the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of
the community because:
the proposed home is consistent and compatible with new homes being built in this
neighborhood.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be affected in a
substantially adverse manner because:
the additonal width of the proposed home allows for a more attractive street front
elevation with the garage not being the dominant feature.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Unified Development to the property will result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property because:
Homes with a front loading garage with an overall width of less than 50'result in the garage being the
dominant feature of the architecture of the front facade. Setting the garage at least 15'back from the front
plane of the house(as required by the Old Town overlay)and having the garage be less than 50%of the
front facade results in a more attractive street front elevation.Without relief from the practical difficulty of
the 45'maximum house width,the home's Front elevation will be dominated by the garage facade.
