SUBJECT: To consider a request for a variance to the minimum rear yard setback from 25' to

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.
Approximately 3 other houses in the neighborhood have been constructed with the
reduced setback. One of these structures received a variance when the property was
being sold. At least 17 houses have been built in this neighborhood. The neighborhood
consists of single family dwelling homes.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all three conditions
necessary for a variance have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
