Zero lot line structure shall mean a structure with at least one (1) wall
conterminous with the lot line, which wall may include footings, eaves and gutters
that may encroach onto the abutting lot under the authority of an encroachment and
maintenance easement.
If we know in advance that someone is proposing a development plan with zero lot
line structures, then in my opinion they should do a PDP for that type of plan per
3.5.2((D)(3), and as long as they have a 6' setback on the other side, then a
modification wouldn't even be required. 3.5.2(D)(3) sates (emphasis addes):
(3) Side and Rear Yard Setbacks. The minimum side yard setback for all
residential buildings and for all detached accessory buildings that are incidental to
the residential building shall be five (5) feet from the property line, except for
alley -accessed garages, for which the minimum setback shall be eight (8) feet. If
a zero -lot -line development plan is proposed, a single six-foot minimum side
yard is required. Rear yard setbacks in residential areas shall be a minimum of
eight (8) feet from the rear property line, except for garages and storage sheds not
exceeding eight (8) feet in height, where the minimum setback shall be zero (0)
feet.

If we know about them now, they should do a modification with the PDP. The ZBA can't hear a variance request
for a pending development, those need to be a modification. Once a development plan is approved, then it goes
to ZBA for variances for things that come up later and that were "unknown" at the time of the PDP. But if we know
about the intent now, we really need to include the modifications with the PDP.

Peter,
We should then address the garage structures (only) setbacks with the Subdivision Plat, PDP and have the
Hearing Officer consider that as part of the decision.
There are 2 other things that require attention: 1) Section 4.7(D)(2) Residential ... the applicant is requesting that
the total building square footage be 1,141 square feet (517 s.f. garage and 624 s.f. dwelling unit), with a 881 s.f.
footprint, in the rear building on Lot 3; and, 2) Section 4.7(F)(2)(b) Eave Height ... eave height at the side line of
Lot 3 would exceed the standard. These would require modifications of standards as part of the PDP, correct, or
could variances be done with the building permit?

Gary told me about the meeting this morning re: the replat of Frey St. Cottages,
and the zero lot line buildings. In my opinion, this wouldn't be a ZBA variance,
rather it would need to be a Type 1 PDP. I'm not even sure that a setback
modification would be needed, per Sec. 3.5.2(D)(3).
The code defines "Zero Lot Line Development Plan" and Zero lot line structure" as:
Zero lot line development plan shall mean a development plan where one (1) or more
dwellings (limited to single-family detached or single-family attached dwellings)
are placed on lots in such a manner that at least one (1) of the dwelling's sides
rests directly on a lot line, as measured from the outer edge of the dwelling's
foundation at the ground line, so as to enhance the usable open space on the lot.
