Persimmon Lane setback request deferred to let applicant refine plans
Summary
Applicant Chris Rulo asked to reduce front-yard setbacks at 1600 Persimmon Lane to allow a larger garage and a main-floor master; the board asked for exact plans and recommended re-advertisement if the requested change differs from the advertised dimensions, and voted to defer to February.
Chris Rulo asked the board to waive front-yard setback requirements for his property at 1600 Persimmon Lane so he could add a main-floor master and expand his garage. Rulo said the current structure was built in 1996 and he wants to "age in place"; he described alternatives he had sketched but noted the packet did not include the precise changes he may ultimately seek.
Board members advised him to submit exact drawings if he wants a different dimension than advertised and flagged that a forthcoming update to the county's Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) could change setback requirements in August. One board member said the item was advertised for 18-foot setback relief and if Rulo wanted 16 feet the application would need re-advertising. Because the board lacked the exact revised plan, it voted to defer the request to the February meeting to allow Rulo to provide a complete package.
Next step: applicant to submit a final site plan showing the precise setbacks he seeks; if the requested change is smaller than advertised, the board indicated re-advertisement will be required before reconsideration.
