SWEARING IN OF WITNESSES
PUBLIC HEARING
1) File 707-BA: To consider a request for a Variance to the rear setback from 25’ to 15’ in a RM-
H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling-Highest Density District) zoning.
Location: 8195 Quail Hollow
Applicant: MAAK Construction
Ms. Ward presented the staff report.
MAAK Construction has applied for a variance to the minimum rear yard setback for their
property at 8195 Quail Hollow Drive.
The property is zoned RM-H (Residential Multiple Family Dwelling - Highest Density). In an
RS (Residential Single Family Dwelling District) the rear setback could be reduced to 15' if no
detached structures are to be allowed in the reduced yard. However, in RM-H zoning, no such
exception is made.
