Commission recommends setback variance for Canadochly Road addition, 4–0
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended the Zoning Hearing Board grant a variance to reduce a side setback from 10 feet to 5 feet for an addition at 1036 Canadochly Road; applicants said the permit had not been issued and no construction begun, and the motion passed unanimously.
Owner Amy Gundrum, represented by partner Jeremy Nolt, asked the commission to recommend a variance reducing the required residential side setback from 10 feet to 5 feet for a proposed building addition. The applicants said they had submitted a permit application that was approved except for stormwater management, and that when they located the property corner pins they found the addition would be five feet from the property line rather than the 17 feet they had initially expected. The permit has not been issued and no work has commenced.
Dr. Hollis Bedell moved to recommend that the Zoning Hearing Board grant the variance for this instance only; Marzena Wolnikowski seconded and the commission voted 4–0 to recommend approval. Jeremy Nolt summarized site context for the commission, noting the neighboring lot is approximately 9 acres and the nearest neighboring house is roughly 210 feet away and separated by woods.
“When we found the property corner pins, the addition would only be five (5) feet off the property line,” Jeremy Nolt said during the presentation. The commission specified the recommendation applies to this addition only and forwarded the recommendation to the Zoning Hearing Board.
