PC Staff Report & Exhibits dated 1/14/16 <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br />Upon the recommendation of the Planning Commission in November the applicants revised their <br />proposal by abandoning their attached garage plan in favor of a detached garage. The revised <br />proposal includes construction of a 22’x25’ two-stall garage located 30-plus feet from the street <br />lot line and 5 feet from the south side lot line. This will be an end-loading garage with a tapered <br />driveway and backup apron, allowing for ample off-street parking and a safe forward access <br />movement onto Shadywood Road. <br /> <br />The neighbor to the south discussed this proposal with staff and is supportive of the proposed <br />garage location and side setback variance. After the November PC meeting staff discussed with <br />applicant the pros and cons of a variety of alternatives for a detached garage layout (see Exhibit <br />D of January PC memo). Applicant ultimately chose to forego attempts to save the tree shown <br />Application Summary:  The applicants initially requested variances required to replace the <br />existing detached garage with an attached garage and living space above it. Pursuant to <br />Planning Commission recommendation and tabling on November 16, applicants submitted a <br />revised proposal for a detached garage, requesting side setback, hardcover and structural <br />coverage variances, which were reviewed by the Planning Commission on January 19. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation: Planning Commission recommended approval of the <br />applicants’ revised plan on a vote of 6-0 at the January PC meeting. <br />Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval.
