- #07-3259 1374 Rest Point Road <br /> February 15,2007 <br /> Page 3 , <br /> The owners axe now worku�g with a differeiit contractor and are proposing to re-use some portions <br /> of the existing house and most of the existing garage, in coiijunction with coinplete interior <br /> remodeliiig of the basenlent and m�in floor, reconstruction and e�pansion of the second floor, and <br /> connection of tlie house to the garage with a 2-story connecting linlc. <br /> � Staff would note the following factors for discussion: <br /> 1. The proposal is to keep the basic house footprint location intact, but reinoving the wing <br /> near the street, fill in the NE corner, and replace the existing half-story with a full story. <br /> This will result in new�second-story encroaclunent massing within 18' of the street lot <br /> line where a 30' setback is required, but will eliminate the one-level wing that encroaches <br /> as close as 13.5' to the street lot liiie. � <br /> 2. The new 2-story connecting linlc will not have a basement connectioii to the garage, but <br /> . will attach�11e garage to the house with new foyer and living space above it. <br /> 3. The detached garage (located 9.1' from the side lot liiie where 10' is required) will <br /> become attached, and gains a bonus room livable space within its roofluie; dormers are <br /> being added to inaximize the usability of that space. Access to the storage area below the <br /> garage will remain via an exterior door oii the lake side. � <br /> 4. The bonus room appears to have the amenities to serve as a guest apartment (half bath <br /> with shower; closets; a separate sink with undefined possible stove/refrigerator slot next <br /> to it) with the exception that the plans do not show a stairway from the main garage level <br /> � to it (but there is an uildefined space above the stauway leading to the garage basement, <br /> that may be large enough to add a stairway). Applicants should advise what the intention <br /> is for this space, and whether access to it from tlie garage is intended. Depending oil the <br /> proposed use and access, a guest apartment CUP could be required. <br /> 5. The applicants have indicated the foluidation has a variety of flaws. They have provided <br /> some initial design work from a struch►raI engineer that suggests most of the existing <br /> � house foundation will be replaced. This appeaxs to conflict with the demo plan elevation <br /> � views which iiidicate "existing fotuidation to remain". The struchual engineer's plan� <br /> . suggests that the portion of the foundation that is iionconfornling in terms of setback will <br /> remain in place, but its load-bearing capacity will be takeii over by new pier footings and <br /> bealns; i.e. the foundation beconies a non-load-beariiig enclosure. <br /> Looking at the demo plans, it appears tliat most of the exterior first-floor walls are <br /> . intended to remain, but they will have new window and door openings. It also appears <br /> fiom the plans that the existing secoiid-story floor will be raised about 2 feet, aud <br /> poi�tions of the secoiid-story wa11s are to be saved. The architect notes tliat due to ihe <br /> existing house being balloon framed,the upper story walls can be saved and added onto. <br />
