They are also proposing an outdoor kitchen, and a new patio with a fire element and pergola. rd This project was continued, at the owner’s request, at the January 23 ARB meeting. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Summary of Project: The existing paver patio extends the full width of the house and to the north property line. The proposed patio will follow the same configuration. The proposed outdoor kitchen consists of a grill with a stone counter set into an offset at the north side of the house. The new patio is a free form shape and is located toward the rear of the yard and will align to an existing retaining wall. The proposed fire pit is located at the front of the new patio. It consists of a low stone wall with a limestone cap. The proposed pergola sits at the rear of the patio. It is a simple freestanding cedar structure that stand 8’-10” at its highest point. Ordinance Compliance: The project is in violation of city ordinance 5-120 G which requires accessory structures, such as patios, maintain a minimum side yard setback of 10 feet. The existing, and new, patio extends to the property line on the north side of the property, and within 8 feet on the south. Similarly, a catch basin is located approximately 6 feet from the south side property line. A variance of 10 feet is required at the north, 2 feet at the south, and 4 feet for the catch basin. Please note, the outlet for the catch basin does not require a variance.
