Summary Background:
The applicant, Ryan Hehman, has applied to the Prince George's County Board of Zoning Appeals for a zoning variance to validate an existing condition (side street yard depth) and to obtain a building permit for the construction of a two-story addition. Specific violation of the Zoning Ordinance is outlined below:
* Section 27-442(e)(Table IV) states each corner lot shall have a side yard along the side street at least 25 feet in depth and a rear yard at least 20 feet in depth/width;
* The applicant is requesting variances of three (3) feet side street yard depth and three (3) feet rear yard depth/width are being requested;
* Staff is recommending the City Council support both of the applicant's variance requests.
The property is within the R-55 Property Zone (One-Family Detached Residential) and the City of Hyattsville Ward 2. The subject property is a single-family detached dwelling. The applicant is proposing the construction of a 12' x 24.6' two (2)-story addition to the rear of the existing home. The design of the proposed addition maintains the established home style in the neighborhood.
The location of the proposed addition can be seen in red in the figure on the next page. Due to the angled rear lot line, the top corner of the addition is 17' from the lot line (seen in green) while the bottom corner of the addition is the required 20' from the rear lot line.
