Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant proposes to replace two (2) existing decks with one (1) upper level deck of the same dimensions as the existing upper level deck and one (1) lower level catwalk with stairs down to the back yard. The upper level deck will be 12’ deep x 20’ wide and maintain the existing 23’-5” rear yard setback. The lower level catwalk will be 4’-6” wide and come out 16’-6” from the house, to allow access from a back door to the back yard. The catwalk will be set back 28’-8” from the rear property line, which complies with the minimum 25’ rear yard setback.
Proposed BZA Motion:
I move to approve a 1’-7” variance to the minimum 25’ rear setback requirement for an uncovered deck in the R-1 zoning district, to allow an uncovered deck to maintain a 23’-5” setback from the rear property line.
