However, in order <br /> to move the garage away from the street additional driveway is needed. The appli�ants are <br /> proposing to keep an adjacent off street parking area next to the detached garage and have <br /> proposed a reduced 11-foot wide parking space with the additional driveway. The existing stairs <br /> accessing the property from the street/garage area will be reconstructed in a similar location on <br /> the northwest side of the driveway but will he moved out of the right-of-way. The applicants <br /> have provided revised hardcover calculations which more correctly reflect the proposed <br /> hardcover for the site, including the newly installed brick patio by the front door. The plans now <br /> show a proposed retaining wall to the southeast of the proposed garage. This area will appeor <br /> to be additional structural massing from the lakeside and from the neighboring property; the <br /> landscape plan should be revised to propose screening in this location. <br /> Structural Coverage Variance <br /> The applicants' current structural coverage level is 14.7% where 15% is allowed. The existing <br /> garage is a small (20' x 20') two-car garage. The new garage proposed will be a total of 23 feet <br /> wide and 24 feet deep on the garage level and 23 feet wide by 22 feet deep on the lower <br /> storage level. The additional 2 feet of depth on the garage level is proposed to be achieved with <br /> a cantilevered floor. According to the definition of"building footprint" because it is greater than <br /> 4 feet above grade, the cantilevered area in this situation does not count toward the building <br /> footprint or hardcover. Even so, the 22' by 23' garage footprint bumps the property over in <br /> structural coverage by about 66 square feet. <br /> Rear Yard Setback Variance <br /> Detached side-load garages on lakeshore lots are allowed to be 10 feet from the rear street lot <br /> line. There is not adequate width to construct a side-load garage on the property. The <br /> applicants are proposing to move the new garage back 20 feet in order to acc�mmodate off- <br /> street parking and to create a safer entrante to the garage. The topography of the site <br /> combined with an existing tree on the property prevents the garage from being constructed at <br /> the 30 foot setback as required. <br /> Staff finds that the existing situation (access, off-street parking, setback and ROW <br /> encroachments) is less than ideal. The applicants' need to rebuild a deteriorating garage <br /> provides them with an opportunity to create a better and safer situation. Staff finds practical <br />
