(c)The adjustment will not have a significant adverse affect upon the health or safety of persons working or residing in the vicinity; and, (d)The adjustment will maintain the intent and purpose of the provision being ad- justed. 8.The property was created as a residential lot to accommodate one dwelling unit. As previously mentioned, the parcel contains an existing dwelling, and the applicant wishes to construct an attached garage on the property, however, the setbacks of the RS zone limits the area you can develop. A site plan submitted with the application demonstrates the requested adjustment is necessary to develop the property for its intended use. The proposal meets 7 (a). 9.The RS zone requires a 12 foot setback from any front property line or lot line abutting a street or roadway. However garages or carports having a vehicle entrance facing a street or roadway right-of-way shall be set back at least 20 feet. This proposal is to allow placement of an attached garage within 12 feet of the front property line along Bass Lane instead of the required 20 feet. 10.Access to the property will be from Bass Lane, and the proposed garage will set back 12 feet from street right-of-way which is a 20 foot private easement that serves one other parcel. The RS (SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) zone allows a 12 foot front yard setback for a single family dwelling. The existing dwelling currently is placed at 12 feet from the lot line, and the attached garage will maintain an alignment with the existing dwelling. Considering the limited number of vehicles using the access, reducing the setback along Bass Lane to 12 feet should have no adverse affects on neighboring properties or the health and safety of persons residing in the area and is consistent with other developments within the RS zone. In addition, staff contacts with Marion County Department of Public Works, Marion County Fire District #1, and other agencies indi- cated that the notified agencies stated no concerns with this request. The proposal satisfies the criteria in 7(b), (c), and (d). 11.The granting of this major adjustment maintains the intent of the Marion County Urban Zoning Ordinance and the Marion County Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, the proposed major adjustment to reduce the setback along both Bass Lane is approved. Craig O.
