Board approves lot-frontage variance for Standage property to allow garage access, 5-0
Summary
The Board of Adjustment unanimously approved a variance allowing a 10-foot western lot-frontage setback (instead of 40 feet) to permit a garage accessed from the west for the Standage property in the Mesa area; action contingent on Maricopa County Department of Transportation right-of-way reduction process.
The Maricopa County Board of Adjustment unanimously approved a variance (BA2024018) that changes the western lot front setback to 10 feet where 40 feet is normally required so the Standage family can site an additional garage with western access.
Planning staff said the lot is a dual-frontage “through lot.” The applicant is pursuing a right-of-way reduction with the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) to reduce the required right-of-way along 104th Street; staff reported other nearby properties have completed that process and received MCDOT approval. Staff said the proposed garage placement is also constrained by a small wash crossing the parcel.
Owner Brett Standage told the board the requested reduction would allow a steel garage structure in the rear third of the lot and described work to remove an Arizona Water Company easement and to file a quitclaim deed where applicable. No members of the public opposed the request.
Motion and vote: Member Clapp moved to approve BA2024018; Vice Chair Person seconded. The motion passed 5-0.
