Hearing No. 2022-8: Application of Andrew Reigle and Sara Wilson:  The Applicants are the legal and equitable owners of a tract of land known as 1000 Sage Road, this Township.  The premises is identified on the maps of the Assessor of Chester County as Tax Parcel 67-1-4.67.  The premises is located in an area designated on the Zoning Map of Westtown Township as an R-2 Residential Zoning District.

There is presently extant upon the Premises a single family detached dwelling.  At the time of purchase of the Premises there was an open deck which encroached into the mandated side yard.  The Applicant, unaware of the need for a permit, constructed a roof over the existing deck.  The Applicants desire permission to continue to maintain and use the deck as now extant and therefore seek relief by way or a dimensional variance or such other relief as may be required, to permit the maintenance and use of the deck as now extant.  The Applicant therefor seeks a dimensional variance or such other relief as may be required to permit the proposed deck at the location indicated.

Hearing No. 2022-9: Application of Diana and Brad Moehler:  The Applicants are the legal and equitable owners of a tract of land known as 1029 Preserve Lane, this Township.  The premises is identified on the Maps of the Assessor of Chester County as Tax Parcel 67-5-71.  The Premises is located in an area designated on the Zoning Map of Westtown Township as A/C Agricultural/Cluster Residential District.  The Premises was developed pursuant to the Flexible Development Procedures set forth in Article IX of this Ordinance.

There is presently extant on the Premises a single family detached dwelling.  The Applicants desire to construct as an addition to the dwelling a patio which, if constructed as and where constructed would extend 2.2 feet into the mandated setback for such structure.  The Applicant therefor seeks a de minimis variance or dimensional variance or such other relief as may be required to permit the construction, use and occupancy of the patio at the dimensions and location as proposed.

The applications, together with plans and explanatory material relating to the three applications are on file at the Westtown Township Municipal Building, 1039 Wilmington Pike, this Township, where the same may be reviewed without cost during normal business hours and where copies thereof may be obtained at cost of reproduction.
