Information
The Petitioner, property owner John Bouzas., proposes to perform several site improvements, including constructing a
circular driveway. Front yards in the R -X Single Family Residence District may not be developed with total impervious
surfaces exceeding thirty-five percent (35%). The proposed exterior improvements increase front yard coverage to 43.4%.
The Petitioner is also proposing to add a second floor and third garage stall to the existing home.
The Subject Property is located on the west side of Elm Street between Golf Road and Sunset Road. The existing property
contains a detached single family home with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned R -X Single Family Residential.
The Subject Property is bordered by the R-1 Single Family Residential District to the west and the R -X Single Family Residential
District to the north! east, and south.
Per the Petitioner, the variation request is a result of the home being an existing -nonconforming structure that encroaches more
than twelve feet (12") into the required front yard setback. The curved nature of the front property line also includes additional
square footage of the nonconforming home in the required setback. The Petitioner states that the proposed circular driveway is
in keeping with the neighborhood as several homes in the immediate area also have circular driveways.
