Legal Description: Acreage 1.33 Section 9, Township 17 Range 3 ASHERWOOD Lot 33 Irregular Shape
Present Use of Property: Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Residential single family
Project Description: Vien Residence Variances - Pool House Height
Section of UDO being varied from: UDO 2.04 Maximum Building Height: 18' for an accessory building; requesting
variance for 20'-2 1/4" on pool house.
UDO 5.02 B.3.a Maximum Ground Floor Area for Accessory Building: combined square footage of the Ground Floor of
a Private Garage and/or Accessory Building shall not exceed 75% of the Ground Floor Area of the Principal Building;
requesting variance for 79%.
Explanation of why variance/waiver is being requested: The height of the first floor of the pool house is consistent with
the principal building as there is a portico roof that connects the two structures. The additional 4'-2 1/4" allows for
consistent elevations. The first-floor area of the pool house combined with the garage area allows for functional space
and use for these designated areas; there is an additional 88.75 sq feet or about 3% above the allowable square footage.
The approval of these variances will not be injurious to public health, safety, morals and general welfare as the elevations
are consistent with the primary building. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property will not be affected
substantially as the accessory building adds value to the property and privacy. The strict application of the terms of the
UDO will result in practical difficulties as the accessory building will not be consistent with the primary building.
