| | | | | | | | | To: | Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
| | From: | Edward Pidermann, Town Manager
| | Subject: | Street Side Yard Patios in RU-1Z Lots
| | Date: | 5/14/2019
|
| |
| | | | | | | | | Recommendation: | Staff recommends approval of the ordinance permitting decks in the street side yard setback of RU-1Z corner lots providing for a minimum setback of three (3) feet and to allow up to 60% of the required yards of such lots to be impervious. |
|
| | | | | | | | | Background: | At the June 5, 2018, Town Council meeting, an item was introduced during the Manager's Report which addressed the possibility of permitting corner lots zoned RU-1Z, Single Family Zero Lot Line, to have decking located within the required street side yard setback. The attached report and ordinance is reflective of that direction.
The following is a brief description of the proposed changes.
Require minimum street side setback of three (3) feet for RU-1Z corner lots. A minimum setback of three (3) feet is required. This standard provides for some pervious area to capture runoff.
Maximum impervious for all yards total. The proposed ordinance adjusts the maximum total impervious area for all yards for RU-1Z corner lots from 50% to 60%, and allows for a waiver of this requirement if certain conditions are met.
On September 19th 2018, the Planning and Zoning Board, acting in their capacity as the Local Planning Agency, heard the item and recommended approval with the condition that the changes apply only to corner lots. |
