Portions of the existing house, deck and patio are within 75' of the creek <br /> shoreline,which normally exists at approximately the 960' contour,fluctuations being <br /> controlled by the dam further south just east of Leaf Street. <br /> The property is located in the RR-1B (2 acre) zoning district.The property was granted structure <br /> and hardcover variances (16-3846, Resolution 6660) in 2016 for a covered deck,stairs and <br /> enclosed storage in the 75 foot creek setback. The property was granted a front yard setback <br /> variance from the road in June of 2019 (Resolution 6999). The property is substandard in area <br /> and width. <br /> The applicant is proposing an enclosed porch to be built on top of the existing 16x 24 deck. The <br /> footprint of the deck and building are not proposed to change. The variance is due to the <br /> massing increase with the addition of the roof on top of the deck. As noted above,the property <br /> was granted an enclosed deck on 2016;while the deck was constructed,the roof was not. Since <br /> the roof portion of the variance was not acted on and the building permit was closed out for the <br /> deck,the roofing structure variance approval has expired. A new variance is required to <br /> construct a covered area in the 75' creek setback. <br /> LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> Section 78-420-Setbacks: <br /> No Setback Changes are proposed <br /> DISTRICT RR-1B Required Existing Approved with the Front <br /> Yard Addition <br /> Front 50' 36.7' 31.7' <br /> Side (North) 30' 30.2 30.2' <br /> Side (South) 30' 101' 70.4' <br /> Creek 75' 50' ; 50' <br />
