Homeowner granted side‑setback variance and square‑footage exception at 12622 Overbrook Road
Summary
The board approved a side‑setback variance (approx. 10.5 ft) and a separate exception to allow 4,445 sq ft where 4,072 is allowed for an addition and enlarged garage; applicant Katie Griffin cited corner‑lot placement on golf‑course open space and submitted a supporting letter from the course manager.
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved two applications affecting 12622 Overbrook Road: a variance to the side‑yard setback and an exception to exceed the lot’s maximum allowable square footage for a garage addition. Staff reported the corner lot requires an approximate 10.5‑foot side‑setback variance and that the proposed total square footage (4,445 sq ft) exceeds the lot maximum (4,072 sq ft) by 373 sq ft (about 9%).
Owner Katie Griffin said the lot’s corner position and adjacency to golf‑course open space make the property unique and that the addition addresses safety and functional needs for her family. "Un uniqueness being a corner lot on the golf course with both the rear and the side being open lot or open space recreational space," Griffin told the board, adding she had a letter from the general manager of the course supporting the change. The board found the criteria met, including rights of adjacent owners (no objections recorded and HOA approval noted), and voted to approve both requests. Staff will notify the applicant in writing and process the permit revisions.
