Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes September 21, 2022 Page 4 of 8 Hill says the property owners would like to rebuild in the same location. The owner's objective is to have a master bedroom on the main level for when they get older. What they are proposing is a 13 square foot encroachment, about 4.5 to 5 inches x 18 inches above what would be allowed through a recovery variance. We do feel like we meet all six criteria as staff as mentioned in their presentation. The owners have received much support from the neighbors. Board Questions of Applicant: Hawksley asks if the owners or the builder consider a small administrative variance for the rear setback. Hill say she believes the owner considered that but there is not much to work with since they have a 15-foot setback in the backyard and they would like to preserve as much room at the back of the house as possible. Public Comment John Barrett, 110 Cherrywood Ln Barrett says he wants to rebuild so that they can build a master bedroom on the main level. This will not adversely affect the neighborhood. We had 28 years in the house and hope to have that many in our new home. Maria McClure, 105 Cherrywood Ln McClure says she full supports this proposal. We have space in the neighborhood but the cul-de-sac is taking a lot of room in that neighborhood Roger Wilkerson, 125 Cherrywood Ln Wilkerson offers his support for this proposal as well. He thinks it is a minimal setback change and supports the floor plan they are proposing. Claire Largesse, 114 Cherrywood Ln Largesse says she completely supports this variance. Discussion by Board: Stuart says he agrees with staff's recommendation and believes they meet all six criteria. Nakari agrees with Stuart. Cooper moves and Stuart seconds a motion to approve a variance from the minimum front setback of 18 feet to allow a 13 square -foot portion of a garage to have a front setback of 15 feet 11 inches at 110 Cherrywood Lane. Motion passes unanimously by a roll call vote. B. 516 Lincoln Ave — Variance Request - A request for a variance to allow a lot coverage of 32.47% where 30% is the maximum height allowed; and to allow a floor area ratio of 38.11 % where 35% is the maximum allowed in the Old Town Overlay District for a lot greater than 7,000 square feet at 516 Lincoln Avenue.
