Costley Residence 1185 West Femdale Road ^4^HARDSHIP <br />•> ■ -) <br />t:tv;V.V/tVJ <br />The existing home was constructed on piles in 1981. It is crawl space type <br />construction that is near the water table elevation thus not allowing for a basement like <br />most homes have in the area. The existing home is also built within the city’s height <br />restrictions, thus not allowing additional living space to be built above the existing living <br />space. Based on these facts any additions that one may wish to pursue will have to <br />enlarge the footprint of the structure. <br />In reviewing the existing floor plan layout the obvious area to add space with the <br />least impact on the current layout and structure is to add space under the existing deck <br />at the southeast corner of the house. <br />As for the garage, we would like to be able to conform to the city’s hardcover <br />ordinance and not have to ask for a variance if we can prove, and the city will agree to, <br />an exchange of hardcover from one location to another.
