The proposed accessory building will add a modest 720 sq. ft. structure to the 1-acre property. It will be constructed by a licensed contractor and has been designed to enhance the existing structure on the property as well as the aesthetic of the growing neighborhood.
The requested variances will allow for the construction of an accessory building that will enhance the neighborhood by creating visual balance on the 1-acre lot. The proposed accessory building will be a modest 720 sq. ft. The main house ground floor area is 1,325 sq. ft. The proposed accessory building has been painstakingly designed to match the existing house. The street (north) side of the structure will include windows, roofline, shingles, and siding to match the existing house.
It will also be landscaped in the style of the house. We have worked very diligently on the design to
ensure that it compliments and is cohesive with our house and aesthetically pleasing to the surrounding neighborhood.

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 it will create a disharmonious aesthetic/disrupt the carefully planned architectural balance
of the property as well as significantly reduce the function (of the structure) for the homeowner. The strict application
of the terms of the ordinances WILL result in practical difficulties in the use of the accessory building. Please see
