Ms. Morrow explained the applicants were requesting a variance to reduce the
required setbacks for the addition of <~n enclosed porch on the subject property
which is designated Medium Density Residential (MDR).
Ms. Morrow indicated the parcel in question is an odd shaped corner lot and
LDC 3.2.1.E states, "corner lots shall have a setback on each read frontage equal.
to the required front setback." The re~~r setback is required to be 15ft per code and
it needs to be reduced to 10ft and the side setback should be 25ft and it needs to
be reduced to 12ft in order to accommodate the applicant's request for an
enclosed porch.
Vice Chair Heintz asked if the applicants wanted to speak concerning the
requested variance.
Mr. Kitz introduced himself to the board and asked that the requested variance be
approved because the porch would increase the value of his property and
enhance the community and. he really wanted to be able to do that.
Member DeNegre commented the aplplicant did have letters from all his neighbors
and the HOA approving the project.
