The proposal has been revised at the suggestion of City staff. The <br /> applicants have now proposed to construct tlie garage addition to access off of Frederick <br /> a.nd have maintained their request to constri,ict the 2"d story addition over the existing <br /> hoine. <br /> Side Yard Setback Variance <br /> The applicants' existing home encroaclies into the required 10' side yard setback. The <br /> applicants' proposal includes maintaining the existing 5.5' setback for their 2"� story and <br /> constructing the new garage to meet 10'. <br /> Hardship Statement <br /> Applicant has completed the Hardship Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B, and <br /> should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. <br /> Hardship Analysis <br /> I�t ca�sidering applicatiars for variance, tlre Pla�rning Conrmission skall co�tsider tlte effect of the <br /> � proposet!vririance upon t/re kea/tli,sajet��a�rt!welfare of the cof�r�rumity, �risting arrrl antfcipated trnffic <br /> � co�rditioirs, /iglrt a�rd air, rlairger of fire, risk to!!re pt►blic safety, and tlre effect o�r v�r/ues of properfy irt <br /> t/te surrouirtling nren.

The applicants' original proposal was clianged at the preference <br /> of the City due to ihe existiiig encroaclunent on the City's righi-of way. The applicants <br /> could have essentially constructed their garage over the existiiig driveway hardcover and <br /> iiot resulted in an increase within tlie 75'- 250' zone, although this would have been a <br /> non-structural hardcover trade for structur�l liardcover which should not be viewed <br /> eqttally.

The 2"a story will result in a furYher reduction of light and open space <br /> wiihin the side yard. The neigliboring lot is 100' in width and currenily has a side yard <br /> setUack of approxiinately 16' from the property line, resulting in 21.5' between the <br /> 3 <br />
