Petitioner:

Location:
516 South Street
Agenda Item Summary:
The applicant has requested a Variance to reduce the minimum required lot size and to reduce the minimum required front yard setback for an existing single-family residence located on 0.15 acres of property zoned High Density Residential District. The existing home, located at 516 South Street, was converted to a duplex without a building permit at an unknown time in the past. The applicant recently purchased the property intending to continue use of the property as a duplex. However, it appears that the structure was converted to a duplex illegally and, as such, a building permit cannot be issued to complete additional work on the house. The applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the minimum required lot size for a duplex from 8,000 square feet to 6,707 square feet. In addition, the existing structure is located 18.74 feet from the South Street right-of-way. A minimum 20 foot front yard setback is required. As such, the applicant has also requested a Variance to reduce the minimum required front yard setback from 20 feet to 18.74 feet. No additions or expansions to the existing structure are proposed as a part of this request.
