Zoning Classification: S-2 Overlay Zone:
Legal Description: UDO Section 2.06: Minimum 10-ft side yard setback required; 7-ft requested
Present Use of Property: One Family Dwelling Platted
Proposed Use of Property: One Family Dwelling Platted
Project Description: Pilcher Household Covered Patio
Section of UDO being varied from: We are respectfully seeking a a variance of UDO Section 2.06: Minimum 10-ft side
yard setback required; for a proposed variance of 7-ft. The variance is requested for approximately 20 square feet of
the open air covered patio, under current proposed plans, would extend approximately 3 feet into the current 10' variance
at the northeast corner. The cause of the variance encroachment is due to the property line being set at an angle against
the placement of the home on the lot.
Explanation of why variance/waiver is being requested: The request is due to the desire to have a covered patio that will
allow the utilization of our rear sliding door that comes off our dining room area. Due to the house footprint not being
parallel to the eastern property line, an extension of a covered patio being straight out from the back of the home will
encroaches on the variance space. Any adjustment to the support structure to accommodate the existing variance would
place a support post directly in the window view of the rear property view and take away from the quality. The north
eastern side of the property is selected for the placement of the patio due to HOA covenants that would prohibit a patio
structure on the northwestern side due to visual obstruction, sewer line easements, gas lines, and roof slope that is not
aesthetically nor architecturally accommodating. The proposed addition will add value to the property and, in proactive
communications with adjacent neighbors, there was no concern of proposed construction plans. The proposed addition
will maintain existing architectural style of the home and use similar materials and construction material so as to appear
as part of original construction.
