It will be 30 feet by 36 feet. <br /> The addition will be behind the home on the northeast side. The existing home sits 16.8'from <br /> the side property line where 30' is required.The proposed location is 16.5'from the side (north) <br /> property line, closer than the required 30 foot setback. The proposed addition will also have <br /> storage above that could be finished to livable space. <br /> The side yard exception available in the RR-1B zoning district does not apply because the lot is <br /> conforming in width. <br /> Practical Difficulties Analysis <br /> The applicant indicated the home was built in 1967 and is now located within the front and side <br /> setbacks based on today's regulations.The homeowners are working to maintain an existing <br /> patio off the rear of the home. There is also septic infrastructure located in the southeast <br /> corner of the home leading to the septic drain field. This limits the conforming building <br /> envelope for expansions of the principle structure. Staff finds there is some practical difficulties <br /> due to the location of the septic, location of the existing home and the substandard lot area for <br /> the district. <br /> LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> Section 78-420-Setbacks: <br /> RR-1B Required Existing Home Proposed Addition <br /> Front 50' 42' No Change <br /> Rear 50' 168' 132' <br /> South Side 30' 136' No Change <br /> North Side 30' 16.8' 16.5' <br /> Section 78-420- Lot Area/Width: <br />
