Representatives: Kevin & Dorela Lumpkin, owners Proposal consists of a fence on a corner lot. Property is zoned A -One Family Residence. Proposal was tabled at August 3, 2020 meeting. 1. A 10.73 ft. variance for setback of a fence constructed on a corner lot in the side and rear yards abutting a side street; code requires 20 ft., applicant shows 9.27 ft., Section 1135.02(D)(3). The applicant proposes to construct a new six-foot white vinyl fence in the side and rear yard of their corner lot. The fence will be set back from the ROW just under ten feet. The zoning code requires a setback of 20 feet along a side yard of a corner lot. Mr. Lumpkin wants to install the fence for more privacy and would like to extend it past the house to maximize the fenced in area. A gate is proposed to have access to the back yard. If the fence was at the edge of the house, the gate could not be accessible. Ms. Lieber said the lot and its neighbor share a rear lot line. The neighbor's drive to the north is about 90 feet away so the visibility should not be affected. The home is set back about 25 feet from the ROW and the fence will project 15 feet beyond the setback of the house. There is nothing unique about the lot that would make it infeasible to meet the code. An email of support from Julie Lajko and Jeff Reynolds received on August 7, 2020 was read into the record. Ms. Patton asked if the trees along the sidewalk would be removed. Mr. Lumpkin would like to keep the trees inside the fenced area. Mr. Papotto thought having the fence 15 feet from the house seemed excessive, but the proposed location made sense since it would otherwise be in the middle of the trees. Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Mr. Rahm, to approve the following variance for 20- 16925; Dorela Marashi; 26982 Kingston Circle: 1. A 10.73 ft. variance for setback of a fence constructed on a corner lot in the side and rear yards abutting a side street; code requires 20 ft., applicant shows 9.27 ft., Section 1135.02(D)(3). Motion passed 3-2, Mr. Allain and Ms. Patton voted no. 20-17169; Kathleen Garran; 26621 Butternut Ridae Road Representative: Kathleen Garran, owner Proposal consists of a new accessory structure. Property is zoned A -One Family Residence. 1. A variance for a second accessory storage building; code permits one per residential lot, applicant shows two, Section 1135.02(C)(2). Note: There is an existing detached garage and an existing barn on the lot. 2. A 88 square foot variance for size of an accessory storage building; code permits 200 square feet, applicant shows 288 square feet, Table 1135.02-1. Note: Lot is 37,942 square feet. Existing non -conforming barn is 800 square feet. The applicant is proposing to construct a new 288 square foot storage building on the lot, where an existing detached garage and barn already exist. One accessory storage structure in addition to a detached garage is permitted. The proposed new building exceeds permitted area by 88 square feet based upon lot size. Ms. Garran said the new shed would replace a shed that was torn down a few years ago. The foundation from the previous shed would be reused and the new structure will be the same size. It will be approximately 281 feet from the street. Ms. Lieber said the existing barn already exceeds the permitted area for an accessory storage structure by 600 square
