The applicant has applied for a conditional u s e permit to con- struct townhouses on ten townhou s e lots at Southwood Drive and Airline Drive. His plan calls for a dwelling and garage structure, separated by an open private courty ard on each lot. The garage structures are proposed to be built on the rear lot line facing a 55 foot deep open space to be owned in connnon by all of the lot owners. The variance requested i s to waive the 20 foot rear set- back requirements of the ordinance. 2. The applicant cites the existence of the 55 foot connnon space as the unique and special circumstance of the land in this case and states that this space accomplishes and ex ceeds all of the purposes which would have been served by a rear setback in the normal case where the rear lines would abut other properties. 3. The applicant's option of re-designing his structures would result in a less than optimum use of space which would leave him with unsaleable and impractical unit s with no private open space. He could re-plat the lots to obtain an additional depth, but this would be strictly a paper change to overcome a technicality, and we agree that no practical pur- pose wou+d be served by the delay and expense involved in doing this. There would be no physical change whatsoever, and opportunity for common maintenance of access ways could be impaired by this arrangement. 4. Because of the common space in the rear, we can see no detriment to the public interest in the proposal. We recommend that, should the I I -,- • . .' Memorandum/Zoning Board of Adju s tment December 29, 1977 Page 2 variance be granted, it be s pecified that an instrument establishing the connnon space and restricting it s use and ownership be filed in the public records before construc tion permits are i s sued. !ol 3 I !ol/ iol I +----- ' 'I :~ ~ ·c>~~·. pr~~ .. ·,,-~·.·~,· ..... ·, 'l ' ' \.

The applicant ha s applied for a conditional use permit to con- struct townhouses on ten townhouse lots at Southwood Drive and Airline Drive . His plan calls for a dwelling and garage structure, separated by an open private courtyard on each lot. The garage structures are proposed to be built on the rear lot line facing a 55 foot deep open space to be owned in common by all of the lot owners. The variance requested is to waive the 20 foot rear set- back requirements of the ordinanc e . 2. The applicant cites the existence of the 55 foot common space as the unique and special circumstance of the land in this case and states that this space accomplishes and exceeds all of the purposes which would have been served by a rear setback in the normal case where the rear lines would abut other properties. 3. The applicant's option of re-designing his structures would result in a less than optimum use of space which would leave him with unsaleable and impractical units with no private open space. He could re-plat the lots to obtain an additional depth, but this would be s trictly a pap er change to overcome a technicality, and we agree that no practical pur- pose would be served by the delay and expense involved in doing this . There would be no physical change what s oever, and opportunity for comm on maintenance of access ways could be impaired by this arrangement. 4. Because of the common space in the rear , we can see no detriment to the public interest in the proposal. We recommend that, should the I I .,--- Memorandum/Zoning Board of Adjus tment December 29, 1977 Page 2 variance be granted, it be specified that an instrument establishing the common space and restricting its use and owner ship be filed in the public records before construction permits are issued. !ol 3 I !ol/ !ol I -" t '• ', I ··, ~~~~-~~,,..,.,..,--..-,.-.. .17 -J : h-o/JI 38.7~df1: ~;.~ ~Jf 37-0 : 37-C 137-8 37-1 1 3 7-f/ 137-fi I 30' 20' I Prooer, .y !.1';Jc l _ zo~_ ---+-----------~-' --' 7 -- 37-A __________ ___,_,8~0""-'-cf"----'-()_/ Ct1r f; -/' A IRL /;VE tJ~
