1/Residence-Estate. Filed by Stephen & Sherri Faulkncr.
~o,~ ~ General Info:
The petitioner is seeking variance approval to
have a private swimming pool & deck located in a
side yard easement.
Analysis'.
The lot has easements platted along the side yard
and in the front yard. The pool will still be set
back 10-ft from the side property line, as the
ordinance requires for private swimming pools.
The County drainage board has granted approval
to encroach in the easement.
Findings of Fact: Setback
1.) The approval of this variance will not be
injurious to the public health, safety, morals,
and general welfare of the community because:
the pool will still be setback 10-ft from the property line, as the Ordinance requires; the pool
will be partially located within a 15-ft drainage and utility easement.
2.)
3.)
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 pool will still be setback 10-ft from the property line, as the Ordinance requires; the pool
will be partially located within a 15-ft drainage and utility easement.
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 strict application of the Zoning Ordinance may result in practical difficulties in the use of
the property, due to fact that the owner may have to relocate the pool on the lot, which is
awkwardly shaped like a piece of pie, and this may pose difficulty.
Recommendation-.
The department recommends positive consideration of Docket No. 05070025 V.
