Additional Information Springs Protection Zone: Secondary Zone Environmentally Sensitive Overlay Zone: No Farmland Preservation Area: No Flood Zone Designation: X Utilities: Water: Well Sewer: Septic Previous Requests in the Surrounding Area: See Chart Code Enforcement Action: None Recommendation: The subject property is located in the Meadow Wood Farms Unit 2 Subdivision in the western part of Marion County. The applicant is proposing to develop this 2.47 acre site with a 3304 square feet SFR, and a 1500 square feet garage to store an RV. This size home and accessory structure is compatible with surrounding area. The specific proposed location of the SFR is necessary, otherwise the applicant would not be in line with existing SFR to the north and would be resorted to view rear of structure to the north. Applicant is placing a concrete driveway on site. In order to reduce costs, applicant is requesting location of RV garage to be placed 16.66 from side property line. Applicant claims that moving structure further back would become a hardship financially. Under residential zoning this would only require a 8 setback, however since this is zoned agriculture a 25 setback is required hence the requested variance. Provided no opposition staff would support approval.
