Subject:2700 Casco Point Rd (LA24-000012) - Variance Application COMPLETE
Good Afternoon,
The variance application for 2700 Casco Point Road has been received and has been deemed complete by City staff. You
are scheduled for the March 18, 2024 Planning Commission meeting. This meeting will begin at 6pm at City Hall and you
or another representative should plan to attend. I will send out a copy of the agenda and packet the Friday prior to the
meeting.
Staff has a few comments/question regarding the proposal that should be addressed prior to attending the Planning
Commission:
1. Please provide photos of the existing garage and site. Staff may also visit the site next week to document the
existing structure.
2. Please consider making some modifications in order to gain the support of staff. Staff is supportive of the front
and side yard setbacks for the existing garage structure. However, the second story addition above the garage
expands this nonconformity. The current proposal has a roofed structure (building and porch) over the entirety
of the garage. The eaves extend to the property line. Bringing the second story addition further away from the
property lines and thus reducing the size could gain the support of staff. I would be happy to discuss this matter
in greater detail.
Please provide additional or revised documentation by Friday, March 8th in order to be included in the Planning
Commission packet. Please reach out if you have any questions. I would be happy to set up a meeting or phone call to
discuss the room above the garage.
Thank you,
Natalie
