STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 6, 1989
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: STAFF
SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 408; Request for Variance to reduce front yard
and side yard setbacks for additions to a nonconforming
residence; Request for Site Plan Review to determine
compatibility of proposed additions to the residence with the
property located at 11 Middleridge Lane, Lot 7-MR;
Owner: Dr. Robert Moore
The Planning Commission, at their regular meeting of October 17, 1989,
continued the above stated application to a scheduled field trip so as to
inspect the site and surrounding properties. Issues discussed at the
prior meeting are as follows:
1. Expansion of the existing legal nonconforming residence would not
go beyond current building lines (18 foot front yard, 10.3 foot side
yard). Required yards per code are a 50 foot front yard and a 20 foot
side yard in the one acre zone. The proposed setback at the front will
vary due to the curvature of the roadway.
2. Middleridge Lane bisects the parcel ,and other properties on this
road have varied nonconforming setbacks.
3. Square footage of the additions will be approximately 1,400.
Structure coverage of the pad will be about 41%, and overall lot coverages
will not be exceeded (11.67% structure, 4.68% flatwork, 16.35% total).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission closely examine the proposed
project and potential impacts to the site and surrounding properties in
accordance with the zoning ordinance regarding front and side setbacks and
development compatibility. In order before a variance may be granted, the
Commission must determine that there are special circumstances applicable
to the property, special privileges are not granted, and it would not be
detrimental tothe public welfare or injurious to other property. Should
the variance be approved, the Commission must further determine that
findings required for site plan review are satisfied. Further, location
of any mechanical equipment (a/c unit) that may create a nuisance of noise
should be discussed.

A Variance to reduce front yard and side yard setbacks -
for additions to a nonconforming residence; Site Plan
Review to determine compatibility of proposed additions
to the residence with the site.
REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF ISSUES
In reviewing the applicant's request under Title 17 (Zoning) and
Ordinance 221 (Site Plan Review), Staff would identify the following
issues:
1. The property under application is bisected by the roadway
with the residence developed on the larger easterly portion of
property. As a nonconforming structure, the residence encroaches
into the front and side yard setbacks presently set forth by the
ordinance (50' front, 20' side). The applicant is requesting a
variance to permit approximately 1,400 square feet of structural
additions that will built within the setbacks, but go no further
beyond that existing. With the curvature of the roadway, the planned
front yard setback will vary from an existing 18 feet to over 28
feet. The side yard setback will remain at 10.3 feet.
2. Other properties along Middleridge Lane exist with varied
nonconforming setbacks. There are six (6) homes north of the subject
site to the terminus of the road.
3. The plan indicates two existing building pad areas of
approximately 12,000 and 2,000 square feet, with the latter used for
assessory structures. The applicant intends to utilize the existing
pad, and with the improvements, an approximate 41 % pad coverage will
occur. Overall lot coverage standards are not to be exceeded (11.67%
structure, 4.68% flatwork, 16.35% total).
