Request(s): • Demolition of existing houses, pool, garage, building, and a portion of the driveway. Motion to Approve the demolition plan as presented including staff comments: Ken Warlick Second: Doug Hene Vote: 5-0 (Approved) 6. COURTESY REVIEWS A. V23-16, 14745 Wood Road Applicant: Joe Cua Request(s): • Part 1: To allow an existing barn to encroach into the 100-foot building setback for housing animals by 98.9 feet adjacent to the north (side setback) property line, and 77.6 feet to the east (rear setback) property line. (Sec. 64-415 (a) (4) a)) • Part 2: To allow an existing barn to encroach into the 150-foot building setback for housing animals from an occupied structure on an adjacent property by 82 feet, adjacent to the north property line. (Sec. 64-415 (a) (4) a)) Comments: The DRB recommends approval of the variance request, and echoed similar but less in-depth comments from the September 12th DRB meeting where the variances for Shed A and Shed B were discussed. The DRB acknowledged that if the barn was to be rebuilt, it was important to have the materials and finishes to be cohesive with the other structures on the property. DRB recommended the condition that if the barn is rebuilt, the barn shall be rebuilt with similar materials to the other structures on the property. B. V23-17, 3144 Watsons Bend Applicant: Kostantinos Skouras Request(s): • To allow the lot coverage for an AG-1 zoned property that fronts a private street to increase from a maximum allowed of 25 percent to 27.77 percent. (Sec. 64-1141(d)(1)(a)) Comments: The DRB recommends approval of the variance request with a maximum of 26.3% total lot coverage. The Board acknowledged that this lot is more squeezed than a typical Milton lot, as around one-third of the lot is a golf course easement. The Board inquired if the applicant was comfortable moving forward with the staff recommendation of 26.3% total lot coverage. The applicant replied yes if the pool decking and pool layout could be modified to accommodate the 26.3% total lot coverage. One board member recommended looking into synthetic turf, as this surface does not count toward lot coverage totals. 7. FINAL REVIEWS A.
