Title
Variance Request for 305 Overbrook Drive
Summary:
The applicants, Jason and Amy Stanton of 305 Overbrook Drive, are applying for a variance that would allow for the construction of a new two-car garage (expansion) within the front yard of the site. The proposed garage will encroach into the front yard setback by 15 feet, resulting in a 10-foot front yard setback. The existing structure is designated historic and currently encroaches at its closest point, 15- feet (±) into the required front yard. The proposed garage will not encroach more than the existing structure.
The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed this application on October 12. Due to the local historic designation of the property, the Historic Preservation Board also reviewed a corresponding Special Certificate of Appropriateness for the expansion on October 13. The Commission will now hear both the variance and the (conditional) Special Certificate of Appropriateness.
