Good evening forward.

And it's located at 4810 Johns Bridge Udo Drive.

The subject property is located within Transbridge Ud subdivision.

The passage size of this lot is 0.235 acres.

And zoning is R4 single family residential.

With auditional single-family homes in the Roswell Mill subdivision directly to the north.

It is shown on the survey.

While the two images at the bottom shows the extended home.

And this case was later brought before the Johns Creek Municipal Court.

On February 24th, 2026, the court ordered the uh property owner to apply for a variance to request for the unpermitted home audition to remain in its current location.

The applicable code requirements come from City of Transcript Code of joining ordinance.

According to Section 6.6.

The development standards state that the minimum rear yard is 25 feet.

Here is the side plan.

Is the 25 foot rear yard setback?

And the property in blue is a home proposed home audition encroached into the real yard setback.

And the variance request tonight is to allow 9.8 foot encroachment into the 25-foot rear yard setback to retain a home audition.

The home audition resulted in approximately 122 square feet of encroachment within the real yard setback.

Variance review criteria.

According to tuning ordinance section 22.3.1.

There are two considerations for granting a variance.

A relief, if granted, would be in harmony with or could be made to be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance.

Or P the application of the particular provision of the zoning ordinance to a particular piece of property due to extraordinary and exceptional conditions pertaining to that property because of its size, shape, or topography, would create an unnecessary hardship for the owner while causing no detriment to the public.

Staff analysis of this application is as follows.

With two conditions.

Dear Moore Board members, my name is Faina and I live at 4810 Jones Bridgewoods Drive.

My family and I have called this home ours for nearly 18 years.

I'm here today to respectfully request approval for the variants related to our home.

Our property has a front yard setback of 50 feet, which is greater than the standard 35 feet for the um R 4 zoning district.

Because the house was an originally built further forward on the lot, it left us with limited space in the rear yard.

As a result, the addition extends approximately 9.8 feet into the rear setback.

As our family has grown, we found ourselves needing more space with the current cost of housing.

Sorry.

Moving to a larger home simply wasn't something we could afford.

Our attention with the addition was to create a better living environment for our children.

While remaining in the home and community we love.
