Answers to the ZONING ORDINACE SEC 3.706

The location of the property has an apartment building of
three stories on the south side of the property, which invades
the privacy of the children when doing outside activities.

This variance is being requested by the family, for the safety of
their child while outside. Coverage of shade, privacy of
wondering eyes,

This rear patio was not intentionally done, the home owner did
not have knowledge of needing permits. They are just
concerned parents for the wellbeing of their children.

The family I hoping that the variance is granted; to file the
permits the correct way.

We are not asking to change the zoning ordinance, for the
property in now complies with 40% lot coverage.

The demolish of 6’ is off the south property rear patio no other
measurement will change on the property.

The project of an additional 8’1” encroachment in the 20’ feet
rear setback line for a rear patio. The rear patio is currently 1471”
by 41’6” after demolition the patio will be 8’1” by 416” and is 9’

feet off the rear property line. The new rear set back line will be 11’.
9” to the back-rear patio. This is a residential zoning (R1-6) and no
reason to change the zoning. In 1978 a partial patio was built
under permit measuring 18’ by 10’. The lot size is 7,668 SQ FT
livable space is 1,972 SQ FT the rear patio 598 SQ FT. All adjacent
properties are residential homes and an apartment complex. The
rear patio is a necessity for the family of two young kids, which love
to be outside and playing in the pool. Located behind the house is a
three-story apartment complex, so there is no privacy for this family
when outside. The rear patio provides a safe environment for the
children while outside. The rear patio also provides shelter from the
sun and the view of the upstairs tenants at the apartment
complex. There ivill be no future add-ons or changes to the
property regarding the back patio. The back patio is not in any way
of disturbing the surrounding residents. The sole purpose of this
additional 8’1” encroachment in the 20’ feet rear setback line, is to
give privacy to the family.
