proposed development includes accessory elements such as walls, fences, patios, hardscape, and a swimming
pool. The project complies with all applicable development standards, and the applicant does not request any
deviations. As background information, in 1984, the Planning Commission approved a variance for the existing
garage to exceed the maximum allowed height limit at the front half of the lot because of the lot’s unique and
