Steve Kraus, 8025 W ck Trail, Variance Staff presented the application by Steve Kraus for a variance to allow the construction of a 40' x 40' (1,600 sq. ft.) detached garage in front of his home at 8025 Wood Duck Trail. The property is zoned Rural and guided for low- density unsewered residential development in the draft Comprehensive Plan. According to the Zoning Ordinance, Mr. Kraus is allowed a total of 3,600 square feet of accessory building space on his 3.25 acres. Construction of this proposed structure will bring his total accessory building space to 2,384 square feet which is well within the requirements of the Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance also provides that "No detached accessory structure shall be closer to the front lot line than the principal building or its attached garage." Thus, the variance requested is to allow the accessory building in front of the principal building. Staff pointed out the location of the trees on this lot and presented the rationale required to be found when considering a variance. Staff advised that Wood Duck Trail was added to the MSA system so if reconstructed to those standards, an additional ten feet of right -of -way would be needed at that time. Thus, the request for the garage to be relocated an additional ten feet towards the west. Staff recommended approval subject to the two conditions outlined in the staff report. • • •
