� '.? _ Oi ` .V. accessory structure will be built near the
existing attached garage on site and will
be 105 feet from the street. This is a significant setback and much more than the required front yard setback for a home.
Existing vegetation lines Queens Way and will buffer the view of the garage from the street. Also,the architecture of the
garage will match the existing home. Therefore,adjacent properties should not be affected in a substantially adverse
manner and this should not have a negative effect on the community. The Department is in support of this variance
request.
Petitioner's Findings of Fact:
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 project is behind security gates. Construction methods and
materials are standard and the use of the space is to store cars.
2. The use and value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variances will not be affected in a
substantially adverse manner because: the project will not block a view or interfere with any activities on
adjacent properties. This addition should raise the value of the home, acting to help not hurt the value of the
adjacent properties.
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: due to the orientation of the home on the property and its
corner lot status,building off of the back/side of the existing home actually takes us closer to Queens Way.
Recommendation: The Dept. of Community Services recommends positive consideration of Docket No. 12120014 V.
