Title
Appl. #PL2021-104 - VARIANCE for rear yard setback - 1523 SW Blackstone Pl; Engineering Solutions, LLC, applicant
Body
Issue/Request:
A single-family home is currently under construction on the subject property. The approved plot plan associated with the building permit shows a 9’ deep x 16’ wide uncovered deck at the southwest corner of the house. The uncovered deck meets the minimum 25-foot rear yard setback. However, the homebuilder desires to cover and increase the size of the deck by increasing its depth to 12’, resulting in a 12’ deep x 16’ wide covered deck. The larger covered deck results in a 22.08’ rear yard setback, equating to a 7.92’ encroachment into the rear yard setback.
Proposed Board Motion:
I move to APPROVE Appl. #PL2021-104 - VARIANCE for rear yard setback - 1523 SW Blackstone Pl; Engineering Solutions, LLC, applicant, for a variance to the minimum 30' rear yard setback, to allow a 22.08' rear yard setback.
