At 602 square feet living space is <br /> very small. Ms. Evans indicates she cannot fit a car in tlie existing garage. <br /> The addition would incluc�e a 100 square foot open front porch and 600 square feet of living <br /> space on the first floor, 700 square feet on the second floor and a 564 square foot garage. <br /> Other than adding a window and changing a window to a patio door, the only changes to the <br /> existing house would be the removal of an interior wall (to create the new living roonl) and <br /> the creation of openings into the addition on the first floor and baseinent. � <br /> Will the expanded house be co»zpatible with the sur•�^ounding a�•ea? There are six non- <br /> lakeshore lots in the block bouiided by Railroad Avenue,North Shore Drive, Shoreline Drive <br /> and Spates Avenue. They range in size from .17 to .72 acres. None of the houses appear to <br /> coinply with all the setback requirements. All are relatively inodest in size but larger than <br /> this one. Five are raniblers; the sixth is a split entry. 1390 Railroad Avenue is adjacent to <br /> the proposed garage. The detached gaxage on that property is setback about 75 feet froin <br /> Railroad Avenue and is 4.6 feet from the conunon property line per a setback variance. The <br /> house is about 25 feet froin Railroad Avenue aiid 16.5 feet from the property line. It also sits <br /> at an angle to Railroad Avenue. <br /> I � <br /> Tlie City has reviewed otlier residential projects in the Crystal Bay neighborhood in the <br /> context of 0.5 acre zone setback standards. This project nieets those standards. <br /> Are the�°e any othe�°issues o�•conce�^ias��ith this ap�lication? <br /> Staff Recommendation ' <br /> Planning Staff recoiiunends approval, subject to suUinission of an updated survey showing <br /> the proposed addition and harcicover calculations with the building perinit applicafiion. <br />
