Revised Plans (March 13,2002-Plan Set) <br />The revised plan set has reduced the wetland impact by doing the following: <br />1.The garage has been shifted closer to the street and is now located completely outside <br />the wetland. All grade changes for the garage are outside the wetland. The negative <br />impact for the garage is it does require a variance to encroach into the front setback. The <br />garage is proposed to be located 17.76 ’ feet from the property line. If the garage were a <br />complete detached building from the house it would be permitted to be located 10’ <rom the <br />property line. <br />Because an enclosed walkway would be built between the garage and house it is considered <br />part of the principal residence and therefore the entire building is required to meet the <br />principal building setback. <br />The garage is a two level building with driveway access to each level. The two level garage <br />requires less building mass on the property as a traditional one story-four stall garage is <br />difficult to fit on the site due to the wetland location. <br />2.The suggested setback to the sewer line on the south side of the property has been <br />reduced from 15' to 10'. The house and garage was then able to be shifted S’ further away <br />from the wetland. <br />3.The original site plan showed an encroachment into the 26' wetland buffer area for the <br />house grading. The decks and steps also did slightly encroach into the buffer. The <br />revised plans have moved the house and decks, including grading in front of the house <br />outside the 26 ’ buffer. <br />An additional change to the existing site plan is the new plan shows a single access rather than the <br />dual property access. Any changes to the access would require approval of the Public Works <br />Director. <br />Required Variances <br />The revised site plan still requires variances. <br />1 Front yard setback to permit the garage to be constructed 17.76 ’ to the property line. <br />To permit land alteration and the garage to be within the 26 ’ wetland buffer [no <br />variance is required to encroach into the actual wetland area]. Please refer to <br />Exhibit C which illustrates the actual buffer impact. <br />in r« II11
