Board Approves Variance for Larger Shed at 401 Lancelot Drive

The Board of Zoning Appeals considered a variance request (ZB26-1) for Tony Amari at 401 Lancelot Drive, located in the Camelot subdivision. The petitioner sought to replace an existing 10x8 shed with a new 12x20 shed. The existing shed was 27 inches from the property line and considered non-conforming. The request was to place the new shed in the same location, resulting in a 2-foot 9-inch encroachment into the minimum 5-foot sideyard setback for accessory structures. The reasoning provided was to avoid blocking a bedroom window and due to the property sloping towards the rear. The board ultimately granted the variance with a condition.
