Section 10.25, Sulxlivision 6(B) To pomit an encroachment into the side setback 2.64’ from the side property line to permit the addition of a second storv- above the existing residence within the required 10' side setback. Required Setbacks I.R-IC Front Yard = 30' Side Yard = 10' Discussion: Applicants have addressed the issue of egress and ingress to the property with the existing garage location. The existing garage is located only 18' from Casco Point Road and laces the road creating a potentially hazardous situation with vehicles backing out to the road without the ability to view on coming vehicles and pedestrians. Several obstacles including a ncighKiring fence, tree and telephone pole block much of the view to the street. 1 he attached garage allow s the vehicles to back out into the yard and approach the street at an angle improv ing views to the street us well as allowing vehicles traveling on Casco Point Road to more easily view entering vehicles from the applicant's property. In the applicant's letter of request they have stated there have been dozens of br^e screeching near misses while backing out. The concern is the location of the proposed attached garage that would be located only 2.85' from the side lot line where a 10’ setback is required. Construction of the house was before the adoption of the current zoning standards. The site plan shows the location of the house in relation to the property line. The garage would not encroach any closer to the side property line than the house. •2644 G«> and Joan KUn)uanil 2617 CatcoPoMU Road Vanaocci - Public I icanni f^2orS
