My request pertains to the increase in retaining wall heights from 4' up to 8. This will allow the owners to utilize the rear yard, which is now steep and climbs 35'-6" from the rear door of the home to the rear of the property at its highest point. The plan utilizes a perimeter retaining wall that maintains existing grades as the property climbs to the rear of the site. The area inside the walls will be a system of three terraces to allow the owners to safely use the space for their rear yard in a way they can not do at this time. 1. Physical conditions of thesite: The unique conditions of this property constitute a special case necessitating this variance. The property is narrow. and deep (with steep grade changes) which require the need for the taller walls to get more utilization of the property. 2.Mimnimum Variance Necessary: Variance request for Retaining wall increase from 4'to B'-Section 27-2.2.1 assure you that my request is solely for the minimum variance necessary to render the property usable. The walls from neighboring views will be seen as a 6-9" height above the existing grades. The area between the walls will be terraced and not viewable from either neighbor. This will not impact the neighboring properties and keep the privacy of neighbors and the owners safe. The plan has been reviewed and approved by the Historical Preservation Board as well. 3.Public Welfare: The proposed addition these walls will allow, bring the value and accessibility of the property to the owners in a way that they were not able to do at this time. The neighbors will not see any drastic changes or noisy conditions as a result of these request. The exterior of the property will also be planted with evergreen plantings to maximize privacy for1 the owners and the neighbors. 4.Ordinace Hardship: A strict interpretation of the zoning laws, in this case, would cause undue hardship for the owners. The addition of additional walls to limit the height of the proposed walls to 4' would limit the usable space in the rear yard and add additional impervious materials and create the need for additional steps as well. The variance is, therefore, essential to prevent unnecessary hardship and allow for a reasonable use of their property. 5.Alignmment withi the spirit of the law: I firmly believe the variance request aligns with the intent of the Suburban Character area, as outlined in the DeKalb County Comprehensive Plan. The proposed construction of these walls and terraces is in line with the Goals of recognizing traditional suburban land use patterns while encouraging increased connectivity and accessibility. The request aims to help the owners better utilize the property, while preserving the character of the site. In conclusion, appreciate your time and consideration of my variance request. I am committed to working collaboratively to ensure that the proposed changes align with the broader goals and policies of DeKalb County. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
