The current property is nonconforming regarding setback closer than allowed to a pond and is over on building coverage based on Section 36-4638 of the city’s zoning ordinance. The property owners at 5620 Woodcrest Drive are requesting a 37.9-foot setback variance for construction of a porch and deck to allow a 12.1-foot setback from where a 50-foot setback is required to a pond. The project also requires a 196-square foot-building coverage variance from the maximum allowed limit of 2,250 square feet. The requested variances reduce the existing nonconforming setback to the water body encroaching closer to the pond edge and increase the existing nonconforming building coverage overage of 177-square feet by 196-square feet for a total of 373-square feet of coverage over the allowable 2,250-square foot limit.
