•2921-1972 Skadyweod AagMt 11,219) Pif«2 BackgrMid This property is the second lot south ofCoffee Channel, so is subject to 75* setbacks from two sides. Applicant proposes to remove the existing one-stall detached garage, located entirely within the side 0-75' zone, and add a new 2-stall attached garage, plus add a second story over the existing house and new garage. The property is very small, and is impacted not only by its proximity to the lake, but by the proximity of neighboring structures. The bouse to the north is only l'-2' from the side lot line, and the existing separation between ^rplicants house and the neighboring house is 4'-5* (their chimneys are only 1 .T apart). The house to the south meets required setbacks, but its detached garage is only 4' from the lot line; applicant’s attached garage addition will be 11' from that garage. SttUCtUfllCQVCTftgg- Struchiral coverage on the property will increase from 1333 s.f. to exactly 1 SOO s.f. as allowed by code. The result is that 22% of the lot will be covered by stmeture. HinlMYCT- Hardcover on the property in both 0-75' and 75-25(7 zones is proposed to be reduced substantially, primarily by eliminating areas of gravel driveway. The detached garage moves out of the 0-75' zone, but is replaced with a larger garage in the 75-250* zone. This results in less open parking area on the property, but still yields a parking area on the lot with depth from 12* to 21', allowing for one larger vehicle and one subcompact car in the driveway. The main entry to the residence will be the door on the lake side, with a seconds. / access through the garage. Applicant proposes to add non-hardcover walkways and non-lined landscape beds aroimd the residence (see site plan). The rock border shown should be changed to a non-hardcover edging to minimize hardcover. The garage addition is the smallest ftinclional footprint (2(7x2(y) and is located so as to be out of the 0-75* zone, which places it 6.9* from the .«outh lot line. This also forces the garage to be nearer the street than the required 3(7 setback, but as a trade-off it minimizes hardcover. The street ri^t-of-way at this location is a widening of County Road 19 due to the bridge, and the street area in front of the lot acts as a shared driveway. The second story additions to the bouse and garage do not stricUy meet the proposed definition of a “half story**, although the side walls of the second story will not be full height. The existing bay window on the lake side first level does not extend to the ground and has not been considered in the lot coverage calculation.
