I am requesting two variances:
1. Variance for rear yard setback (Ocean Blvd side) from 20' to 10'
2. Variance for side yard fence height from 4' to 6' on property line in a
limited location
3.
Overview:
• 321 Beach Avenue is a "thru lot" that is fronted by both Beach Avenue
and Ocean Blvd AND is also a corner lot that is fronted by 3rd St. (3
fronts)
• Because of the current code, there is no true "rear yard" (code reads
both Beach Ave and Ocean Blvd must be treated as the front) thus:
o I can't put a 6' fence on the property line in the rear yard like
most people can for any private space.
o Code also requires the side yard setback on corner lots be 10' (not
a range of 5' to 10' as most lots are) so I have only 5' on the
back/other side... this makes it tough for "heart of house"
infrastructure to all fit (HVAC, pumps, etc.) there. I cant put these
things in the "rear" yard because there isn't one.
• This forces me to create a "courtyard" space between the house and the
garage or to build a 3-story structure. I would like to go with the
courtyard option but need some space for a private area and to put the
"heart of house" items.
• To create a courtyard, I am asking for relief from the 20'setback
requirement on the Ocean Boulevard side to a 10'setback requirement
so that I can gain 10' and actually have some usable space in the
courtyard (the lot is 132' deep)
• The garage will be a side entry garage (entered from 3rd St) so there
would be no parking or sidewalk issues on the Ocean Blvd side that
would impede granting the 10' setback. A side entry garage will also
allow the mature trees in the right of way and on the west side of the
property to be saved (please see sample site plan diagram).
• Our current code also doesn't allow corner lots to put a 6' fence on the
side yard property line (inner lots are allowed this). Only a 4' fence is
allowed on corner lots. I am asking for relief of this from a 4'fence to a
6'fence on the property line to create some privacy for the courtyard
area. I would not put the 6' fence within 20' from either the Beach or
Ocean Blvd intersection so there would be no site-line issue.
As an aside, the impervious surface on this property as built is almost 60%.
This number will be well below the required 50% in the new construction.
