from the lot
ground level to the highest point of the roof for a flat roof, to the deck line of a mansard roof and to the mean height
between eaves and ridges for gable, hip and gambrel roofs. The building height is measured halfway up, between
the ridge and eaves, so an accessory structure could actually be taller than 18 ft. This accessory building is located
at the eastern part of the property, on an alley. Please see the informational packet for more detail.
Findings of Fact:
1. The approval of these variances will not be injurious to the public health, safet mor als, and general
welfare of the community because: the garage building height is about 5 feet taller than the maximum height
permitted. The architecture, colors, and materials of this accessory structure complement the primary
structure/house.
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 garage building height is about 5 fee taller than the anaxiinum
height permitted. The architecture, colors, .an -rr ateriais of this accessory struc.re complement the pri mary
structure/house.
3. The strict application of the terms of the Zoning Ordinance to the property will result in practical
difficulties in the use of the property because: the garage height will have to be re d u ced by 5 feet, thus
having to alter the roofline and pitch to get the height down, in which the finished product may or may not look
aesthetically pleasing.
Recommendation: After all concerns have been addressed, the Dept. of Community Services recommends
positive consideration of Docket Nos. 11060003 V.
