• c r • FILE 09-3418 ' July 20, 2009 Page 4 of 5 �ecial Notes The existing building does not have fire sprinklers because it was built before they were required and has not had a change of occupancy or addition.. The additions would � have sprinklers and the existing building would have to be retrofitted. The west addition would add another story to the existing party wa11 with 3465 Shoreline Drive. Tlie applicant indicates the party wall agreement allows for this. Before fmal approval the City Attorney would need to review this document to conf'irm this arid ensure it includes a mechanism for makirig any required changes to the wall and windows of 3465 ' above the proposed addition. Variances Buildin� Setback A setback of 29 feet from Kelly Avenue right of way is proposed for the east addition when the required setback is 35 feet. A setback of 0 feet from the west properry line is proposed for the upper level of the west addition when the required setback is 35 feet. Number of Parking Spaces The plan.has about 80 percent of the parking spaces required by code. The deficiency is 23 spaces. The beauty salon in the basement of the 3465 Shoreline Drive building rents nine parking spaces. This property owner can terminate this agreement at any time but does not want to as it would require the beauty salon to close or to expand the parking lot on the 3465 property. Not terminating the agreement would increase the parking space deficiency to 32 spaces. The concept plan had a°53 deficiency of spaces. -The deficiency has been reduced by revising the site plan to add four parking spaces and by calculating the number of required parking spaces based on the code standard one space for every 150 square feet of floor area excluding storage, common and utility areas rather than a flat rate of one space for every 200 square feet of gross floor area. Both stores have an unusually large portion of their premises devoted to storage. Future tenants would be limited to the same arrangement. Parkin� lot setbacks Setback variances are requested for both parking lot expansions. The new portion of the upper parking lot would be located 4.16 feet from the right of way of Shoreline Drive and 3.5 feet from the right of way of Kelly Avenue. Code requires a 10 foot � setback from Shoreline Drive and a 20 foot setback from Kelly Avenue. The new portion of the lower parking area would be 8.42 feet from the south property line when the code would � require a 15 foot setback (because the adjacent property is residential). It would be 15 feet from the right of way of Kelly Avenue when a 20 foot setback is required. Structure setbacks The upper trash enclosure is proposed to have a 3.5 foot setback from Kelly Avenue when a 20 foot setback is required. The lower trash enclosure is proposed to have a 0 foot setback from the west property line when a five foot setback is required. Both are proposed to have less than the required 10 foot sepaxation between a principal structure and an accessory structure. Structural Covera�e and Hardcover Some hardcover would be removed; some would be added. (See Exhibit I.) Part of both additions would change from non-structural hardcover to structural'hardcover.
