Of Planning & Sustainability Zoning Boards of Appeals 330 Ponce De Leon Ave Suite 300 Decatur, GA, 30030 Subject: Variance Request for Increase in Lot Coverage from 35% to 36%- Section 27-2.2.1 Accessory Structure Construction Dear Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals, My name is Jon, 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 Increase of allowable lot coverage of35% to 36% for my property located at 1147 Janes Ln NE. The purpose of this variance is to facilitate the construction of an in ground concrete pool. The intended pool requires specific dimensions to serve as hydro therapy pool for recovery from multiple back surgeries. 1. Physical Conditions of the Site: The unique physical conditions of my property constitute a special case necessitating this variance. The parcel is characterized by a narrow shape in the rear of the reducing the space. Additionally, the presence of specimen trees, a natural feature of the land, further restricts the feasible location for constructing the accessory structure. These conditions are inherent and not a result of any actions taken by me or previous property owners. 2. Minimum Variance Necessary: assure you that my request is solely for the minimum variance necessary to render my property usable, the pool must be constructed to a certain minimum parameter and size to accommodate the intended use. The elimination of an originally planned travertine pool deck around the pool has already been established to render the new impervious impact as minimal as possible. 3. Public Welfare: The proposed addition will provide a positive impact on the neighborhood and community. I have received numerous letters of support from my neighbors who do not feel the addition would intrude on their enjoyment or usage of their properties. The requested variance will not pose any harm to public welfare, neighboring properties, or the overall improvements in the R-75 zoning district. There is also existing stormwater mitigation flow wells on site, and an extensive landscape plan incorporating many native plants to be added at the end of the construction of the planned pool. 4. Ordinance Hardship: A strict interpretation of the zoning laws, in this case, would cause undue hardship for me. The impracticality of adhering strictly to the 35% impervious maximum would limit my ability to use the property ertectively. The variance is, therefore, essential to prevent unnecessary hardship and allow for a reasonable use of my land. 5. Alignment with the Spirit of the Law: 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 construction of a residential swimming pool is in line with the goals of recognizing traditional suburban land use patterns while encouraging increased connectivity and accessibility. The development aims to enhance community connectivity, preserve and improve existing greenspace, and provide an amenity for both current and future property owners. 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.

He had cervical spine fusion in March. He also has a history ofl lumbar spine surgery and continues to have low back pain. He has been using a hot tub for muscle spasms that are common with spine surgeries. He is attempting to have one installed at his home but has been told he is over the allowable land coverage for his property. I feel that the water therapy provided by a small in-ground therapy pool would allow for more space SO he can do better stretching and strengthening than a traditional hot tub would provide. I believe this will be beneficial for his recovery and I consider it medically necessary. Please contact my office if you have any questions or concerns. - Gerald E.
