Setbacks: <br />The Ordinance requires corner principal structures to have a side yard setback that is the <br />average of the front yard setbacks of the same street. The proposed attached garage addition is <br />located in alignment with the existing principal structure on east side of the property with a front <br />yard setback of 34’-0” (requirement is 30’-0”) and the corner side yard setback will be 34’- <br />0”(The front yard setback average for Yorkton Ridge is 30’-0” . The site plan submitted also <br />shows a rear yard setback at 40’-0” (requirement is 40’-0”) Applicable setback requirements <br />have been satisfied. <br />Lot Coverage: <br />According to the Code, no individual accessory building or detached garage for a single- <br />family dwelling shall occupy more than 30 percent of the rear yard. The proposal is for an <br />attached garage space and the applicant does not have any other accessory structures in the <br />rear yard. The proposed garage complies with this provision as it would not be placed in the <br />rear yard, therefore 0% rear yard coverage. <br />Accessory Building Area: <br />The total garage and accessory building space upon a property may not exceed 1,500 square <br />feet. The proposed total attached garage area will be 1,300 square feet. The primary issue with <br />most oversized garages relates to the potential for over-crowding on the lot.
