Title
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT TO ALLOW FOR A 5-FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK FOR LIVING SPACE THAT IS PLACED ABOVE THE GARAGE FOR THE DEACONS POND DEVELOPMENT (ALL ADDITIONS) AT 118TH LANE AND LONDON STREET. TJB HOMES, INC. (CASE FILE NO. 05-96/LSJ)
Schedule of Actions
City Council (CUP Amendment) |
06/21/12 |
Background
The Deacon's Pond development began building homes on 31 lots in late 2005. The developer's intention was to build two-story homes with extensive amenities, much of which has happened. Many of the two story homes, which have been purchased by families, have bonus rooms that provide additional living space (extra bedrooms) built over the garage. Garages are allowed to be placed 5-feet from the side yard. The CUP amendment would clarify that living space built above that garage could also be at the 5-foot setback and would not have to meet the 8-foot setback that was established for this development.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
