#15-3787 <br />14 October 2015 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br />The applicants’ home is newly constructed, however does not have a basement. In 2014 the <br />previous owners received variances in order to permit construction of a small addition to the <br />home to allow for additional storage space; and a two-level shed to provide additional storage <br />as well as a severe weather shelter. The home addition and shed have not been constructed. In <br />the spirit of the previous approval, the current owners would like to forgo the addition to the <br />home and construct a larger detached structure to meet their storage needs as well as serve as <br />a severe weather shelter. They request a structural coverage variance to permit construction of <br />a two-story detached garage on the property to be served by a new driveway on the rear. The <br />footprint of the proposed garage results in the same calculable level of structure as the 2014 <br />approvals, however includes a larger cantilevered floor on the top level (4-feet where 2-feet was <br />the previous plan). <br /> <br />LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET <br /> <br />Sections 78-350, 78-1435 & 78-1436 – Garage Setbacks: <br /> <br />LR-1C Required Proposed <br />Rear 10’ - if doors face away from the street <br />30’ - if doors face street <br />30’ (doors face street) <br />East Side Street 15’ 22’ <br />West Side 10’ 10’ <br />From House 10’ 81’ <br /> <br />Section 78-350 - Lot Area/Width: <br /> <br />LR-1C Lot Area Lot Width <br />Required 21,780 s.f.
