Thebarn is located to the rear of the Property. The twoaccessory structures are located closer to the front of the Property.One is in the middle of the Property and the other is close to the western property line. 3.All neighboring lots are zoned LDRand are used for residential purposes or left vacant. 4.Pursuant to section 5-5.B of the Cabarrus County Development Ordinance,single-family detached building in LDR must be setback in the front at least 75 feet from a minor collector right-of-way. 5.On August 9, 2021, Baxter submitted a Variance Application to the Cabarrus County Planning Division.The application requests relief from section 5-5.B of the Cabarrus County Development Ordinance. 6.The application requested 45 feet of relief from the front setback requirement for LDRto locate a newhome approximately 30 feet from the existing edge of the right-of-way. 7.Representatives of the Cabarrus Health Alliance(CHA)examined the Propertyand found that shifting the location of the building would result in encroachment of the existing septic system, prohibiting its use.A CHA inspectionindicated higher capacity septic system than the three-bedroom system currently in place, nor can a system be placed elsewhere on the property. As a result, the CHArecommended granting the variance. 8.The steep slope over a portion of the lot, the existing septic system, and existing structures prevent the applicant from building a home in any location other than the site of the previous building, which does not comply with setback requirements. As such, Baxter will notbe able to build a home on the property without a variance. 9.The proposed site plan indicates that the proposed building will have a similar size, appearance, and location relative to the roadto the prior home. 10.Owners of the adjoining properties receivedwrittennotice ofvariance application and a sign was posted on the propertyon August 24, 2021.
