Communications Received Communication email was provided 6. New Business – Public Hearing Case No. B21001 – 4024 Catalina Drive; Side Setback Variance. Application filed by MRA Construction LLC, applicant, Aaron and Lisa Washburn, property owners, requesting a 3.25 foot variance to the 10 foot side yard setback of the RS-2 district to permit a 6.75 foot side yard setback to permit a garage and pool house addition. The property is located on the north side of Catalina Drive 300 feet east of Welling Green Court and described as Lot 83 of the Emerald Ridge Subdivision, Section 2. Ms. Lewis explained that the property consists of a single family residential home located within an established residential neighborhood. The property owners desire to construct an addition to the house on the side of the structure. In order to accommodate the proposed addition, the property owner has applied for a variance to the side setback requirement.. Mr. Randy Allen- 1805 Greenberry Rd, stated that drew up plans for MRA Construction, and then MRA Construction submitted the application on the homeowners behalf. Ms. Lewis stated the home was constructed in 2001. The setbacks for the RS-2 zoning district are 25’ in the front 30’ to the rear and 10’ on each side. The proposed building addition is 14 feet wide by 57 feet deep, and would function as both a garage and pool house additio n. The building addition would intrude 3.25 feet into the side setback area. She stated that a building permit for the construction was issued on 11/18/20. A subsequent survey revealed that the building addition failed to meet the side setback requirement. The Chair opened the public hearing and asked for anyone wishing to speak in favor, opposed, or give any comments on the request. With no one coming forward to speak on the request, the chair closed the public hearing. Ms. Lewis told the committee the required findings appear to be met. The setback variance is requested in order to permit a garage and pool house addition, which is a common feature in the neighborhood. Given the large separation from the adjacent house, the setback variance should not create any obvious safety concerns or major impacts on the use of adjacent property. Mr. Crabtree moved and Ms. Keating seconded to approve the requested variance of 3.25 feet to the 10 foot setback to permit a side setback of 6.75 feet. The motion passed 4-0 with the following roll call vote: Aye: Hake, Crabtree, Lacy, and Keating. Nay: None. 7. Miscellaneous Reports 8. Other Business 9.
