Zoning File 11359 <br />January II, 1989 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Staff Update - Co—enta - <br />Based on preliminary review of the submittals for the application, <br />staff called for a meeting with the applicants earlier this week to resolve <br />certain Building Code limitations on the proposed improvement, specifically <br />the porch addition. Applicants have agreed to revise the deck location and <br />the chimney location and to submit revised plai*i by Friday of this week for <br />inclusion in your packets. <br />Saview of Application - <br />The additions to the existing residence consist of the removal oP the <br />porch at the southwest corn^ .nd replacement with a mud room that will not <br />expand beyond the existing limits of the principal structure (14.1x6.7*). <br />Porch and deck addition at the southeast of the structure will require a <br />setback variance to the required separation between principal and accessory <br />structure at 10*. Review the original floor plans. Exhibit H, note the <br />grade level deck located right at the 20.2* setback to the garage. The 6* <br />wide grade level deck was not of major concern to staff. Staff questioned <br />why a deck would be squeezed in between the porch structure and the garage, <br />and asked if it would not be more functional to relocate the deck to the <br />east side of the porch addition taking advantage of the additional area of <br />the treed sloping yard to the east. The applicants concurred noting that <br />they had planned a deck on the east side as a future expansion, but because <br />of cost had to refain at this point. They advised that in their amended <br />plan that they would relocate the 6* wide deck along the east side. This <br />time the deck would have a railing because of the sloping yard at that side <br />of the house. <br />Review Exhibit G, H and L, based on the Uniform Building Code, the <br />assumed property line is 3', and at 3* there can be no openings within the <br />substandard setback area. The chimney must be relocated (considered an <br />openi.ig) and the door if it is to remain along the east wall must be rated <br />1-hour fire resistant. The applicants have advised that they wou-.3 <br />probably prefer relocating the chimney at the northwest corner of the porch <br />addition. The floor plans also show sliding glass doors along the east <br />side. This will no longer be a concern as applicants plan to locate their <br />deck along the east side of the porch addition.
