NOTARY PUBLIC K. - 6 Notary Public Owner Pares COUNTY, Notary Public Owner Notary Public Owner 1/17 LETTER OF INTENT Subject: Variance Request For Reduction Of Side Yard Setback-section 27-2.2.1 From 7'5 to 0 Dear Members of the Zoning Board Of Appeals, My name is Benjamin Middlebrooks, and I am writing to formally request a variance from Section 27- 2.2.1 of the Dekalb County Zoning Ordinance. My request pertains to the reduction of the side yard setback requirements from 7.5 feet to 5.0 feet for the property located at 561 Ashburton Ave Decatur, Ga 30032. The purpose of this variance is to facilitate the second story addition which will enhance the beauty of the property and increase the heated space. 1. PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF THE SITE: The property is only 65' wide (R-75). It is an unusually small lot (9000 square feet versus 10,000 for R- 75. It has possible slope issues in the rear which affected rear addition. 2. MINIMUM VARIANCE NECESSARY: My request is to alleviate prior damages from the prior owner of the property. As previously stated, we would have had to demolish the second story addition and move to the rear which kinda slopes creating another challenge. 3.PUBLIC WELFARE: After a visit to the neighborhood, the adjacent owners welcomed the work, stating that it beautifies the neighborhood and that there are other two story structures in the neighborhood and that it does not create an eyesore. 4.ORDINANCE A strict interpretation of the zoning laws, in this case, would cause hardship to the current owner as we desire to alleviate damages from the prior owner. Denial would force us to teart down the structure which would cause more hardship to the owner and surrounding neighborhood. 5. ALIGNMENT WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW: I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT MY VARIANCE REQUEST ALIGNS WITH THE INTENT OF THE Suburban Character Area, as outlined in the Dekalb County Comprehensive Plan. The proposed applications aligns with the TN(Traditional Neighborhood),it provides more housing to the county an the aesthetic improvement is welcomed in the area and continues to push for higher density development. In conclusion, I appreciate your time and consideration of my variance request. I am committed to working collaboratively to ensure that my proposed changes align with the broader goals and policies of Dekalb County. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
