The existing stoop and stair are located 25’ rom street lot line. The <br />proposed three season porch would be 18 ’. The house to the east is located sligh ‘'y behind front <br />line of existing residence and is 10 ’+ from the shared lot line. The residence to the west is in <br />line with the front line of the subject structure. Applicant’s residence is 14 ’ + from west lot line <br />and the proposed addition will be 22’. The mature evergreen in the street yard will not be lost <br />as a result of the construction. <br />The rc! idence has been vacant for over nine years. The current owner and applicant is a retired <br />contrac or and has slowly worked on the renovation of the structure over the summer months. <br />Staff me* with the applicant on site and discussed the issue of future otf street parking as <br />residence u not served by a driveway nor off street parking area. Note there is 610 s.f. of <br />available hard-'over and there is adequate width within the west side yard to allow a minimum <br />width driveway *o rear yard. Applicant did discuss his plans tor a future garage to the rear yard <br />located out of the J'.ardcover zone (review Exhibit E) but note strucmral coverage facts above, <br />applicant is already at 1 1.5% with proposed improvements with an additional 490 s.f. allowed <br />for additional structural coverage. If a garage was to be installed on this property, a structural <br />coverage variance would be required. <br />Review Exhibit G, note change in roof line at northwest comer ot residence. The variance need <br />not be addressed for this expansion as intensification of roof structure will occur within <br />conforming street and side setbacks. <br />Statement of Hardship <br />Review Exhibit A. applicant notes minimal living space and enhancement of structure. <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1.

As it is the intention of applicant to install a future garage, should applicant be advised <br />to amend current application to include future garage that would require a lot coverage <br />variance
