Subject: #13-3619, Paul & Jessica Warner, 1380 Briar Street, Setback Variances ______________ ~~~~i~ -~~~~i~~-___________________________________________________ ; _ _ _ _ JW r..dt4S Background tl{Cb(dt h8~Wtf.., U The applicants' approximately 800 square foot home was built over 60 years ago . The detached garage was constructed in 1957 and an addition to the home was constructed in 1958. The applicants are proposing to construct two, one-story additions to the existing one-story home. Their property is 160 feet wide on Briar; it is only 87.5 feet deep, the SO-foot front and rear setbacks overlap. Like most of the properties in the Crystal Bay neighborhood the applicants' property does not conform to the 2 acre minimum lot size of the RR-lB district. ~ Front: The applicants' existing home is set back 15.8 feet from the front property line .

The uncovered porch is proposed to encroach within 9.5 iAAL ~ 1 feet of the front property line and is considered a nonencroachment to the setback.

The attached garage addition on the south side of the house is proposed to be set back 19 feet from the rear where a 50 foot setback is required . The garage addition will encroach 19 feet closer to the rear lot line than the existing home. South Side: The existing one-stall detached garage is proposed to be removed . The separation from the adjacent property on the south will be improved with removal of the garage and construction of the addition. However the addition will still encroach ±15 feet into the required 30 foot setback. DISCUSSION Staff finds the size and dimensions of the property serve as a practical difficulty preventing development of this property. The location of the applicants' existing home partially drives the location of the proposed additions; however it is not possible to build a home in a conforming location on the property. The proposed rear yard setback is not out of conformance with the immediate neighbors. The applicants propose to have the additions stepped back from the street and propose to place planters on the porch; both will add interest to the curb view and will visually break up the front ~I;:;~ ~ ~ <:"' ~ j"ackl-~ Staff Recommendation ~ l,()tfG, ~"--tu:{~ ~';=>_J U,d-o Planning Staff recommends approval of the 1-'.:.iances as requested. ~ ~' • ~1: ~v--e~. tJDpv~tovt~ --~l ~ ~-to~ I /\A~ LHYJJfh
