Docket No.: PZ-2022-00231V
Petitioner. Justine and Joshua McKenney
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 garage structure will provide automobile/boat storage and family traditional activities
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 proposed structure will provide room to support their growing family and add value to the house
and the neighborhood.
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:
The Development Standards Section 5.02(BX3)states that square footage of the ground floor of a
private garage and/or accessory building cannot exceed 75%of the ground floor area.The ground
floor is 1,703sf.75%is 1,277sf.Current garage is 768sf,making the new structure only 509sf.This
size is not practical to serve the needs of the of the family, adequate storage and leave room to
move around inside garage.
