The Emily Program intends to utilize the existing building, the existing parking lot and constru t a detached garage. The existing building and the detached garage do not meet the required 00 foot setback from lot lines. Therefore, setback variances are requested. City Code Sectionj78-1511 requires an open parking lot to be located outside of a required yard with the exceptidn that it may be located in a rear yard to within ten feet of an interior side lot line and to within ten feet of a rear lot line. The existing parking area meets the 10 foot setback from the rear lot line however a variance is required as the parking area is within the 100 foot required yard along Briar Street. City Code 78-1403 allows up to 15% of the property to be covered by structures. Currently the existing building accounts for 14.7% structural coverage. The proposed detached garage would result in a structural coverage level of 17%. i COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED The Council action requested at Monday's meeting is to approve or deny the application.
