Action
8
The Board of Adjustment shall make 
their analysis of the requirements 
based on the evidence in the record 
prior to granting a variance:

Analysis 
9
• The property had special conditions such as 
an existing bridle path easement and setback 
per the subdivision plat, preventing
development. 
• The required setback is restrictive for an 
adequately sized RV garage addition.

Analysis
10
• The strict application limits the addition of an 
attached RV garage that many surrounding 
property owners have.
• Rezoning is not appropriate as it is within a 
subdivision which requires all lots to be 
uniform with the same zoning.

Analysis 
11
• The side setback reduction is the minimum 
necessary to allow for the RV garage addition.
• The proposed side setback is like the side 
setback approved in the previous variance 
case for the existing carport.

Analysis 
12
• The request is not expected to have a 
detrimental effect as it is abutting a local
street and not a residence.
• Residential properties to the west and north 
of the site are not affected as all other
setbacks are being met.

Recommendation
13
If the Board decides to grant the 
variance, it should be subject to the 
following stipulation:
Development shall be in conformance 
with applicable narrative and site plan 
dated May 20, 2024.
