[0 DeKalb County G E o DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & SUSTAINABILITY ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS APPLICATION AUTHORIZATION OF THE PROPERTY OWNER I hereby authorize the staff and members of the Zoning Board of Appeals to inspect the premises of the Subject Property. hereby certify that the information provided in the application is true and correct. hereby certify that I am the owner of the property subject to the application. 01/13/2025 DATE: Applicant Ahdalb Signature: DATE: Applicant Signature: January 13, 2025 Dekalb County Zoning Board of Appeals C/O Dept. of Planning & Sustainability 178 Sams Street ENUIN Decatur, Georgia 30030 C * * Re: Variance Application Letter ofIntent 3641 Cobb Creek Court (Parcel: 151 133 01 143) 5 ) K & To Whom it May Concern: Please accept the attached application form, this letter and included supplemental documents in support of our request for a Variance required for the development of an owner-occupied single-family residence on Lot 29 of Carlysle Glynn Unit One (PB 92 PG: 141) subdivision located at 3641 Cobb Creek Court in unincorporated Dekalb County. An application for a building permit on the lot has been submitted by the owner, and permit fees have been assessed by Dekalb County and paid by thel landowner. Subsequent comments from Dekalb County staff have indicated that thel lot in question is no longer a buildable lot due to the presence of an existing detention facility that lies across a part of the lot as well as three other contiguous lots in the subdivision (Lots 28, 29, 31 & 32). With this application we hereby request an exemption from Chapter 27, Article 5, Section 5.6.2 prohibiting thel location ofa detention facility on the same lot as a single-family home. Three oft the four lots containing the pond area already support existing owner-occupied single-family residential homes as originally intended. The subject parcel was platted in 1990 as a buildable lot with a dedicated sanitary sewer service lateral provided during the construction of the subdivision. In 2015 Section 5.6.2 of the Dekalb County Zoning Ordinance was enacted. A site plan has been provided in compliance with the applicable development standards for the proposed home construction. The area ofthe pond has been excluded from coverage calculations per Dekalb County staff, andt the planned improvements still fall within the coverage standards. The subject lot has been taxed as a buildable lot for 35 years at the same rate as other buildable lots in the same subdivision. The landowner has invested substantial funds in plans to develop this lot, and the new homeowner has made plans to move in this spring. Given the immediate evidence of the pond on the existing developed lots on either side of the subject parcel, the landowner has been shocked to find that the same rules do not apply to his lot and that the strict application of Sec. 5.6.2 would leave the parcel with effectively no market value and no meaningful allowable use. No other parcels will be affected by the approval ofthis variance, and there is no reason to believe that this Variance have any negative impact on the public or other landowners. The approval of this variance would serve only to restore the intentions and expectations ofa all parties as this has always been al lot intended, taxed, developed, platted and marketed for home construction. The intent ofcode Section 5.6.2 was not to condemn existing buildable lots. It was to guide future land development projects. In this case a Dekalb County resident will suffer considerable damages as a result of strict application ofthis code. Please consider granting this request for a variance in order to prevent these damages, to allow this project to move forward and to support our residents' efforts to make Dekalb County their home. Thank you for your careful review and consideration oft this application. Sincerely, Mohemmad Habib BuildHome, LLC P.O.
