� i .-' z. .pxy 1 _'" .4M; , {;' ' . Analysis:
�''" ",�tom^.- ► ;ao " .. �- .,.1:44, , --,, This site is a corner lot and is therefore
' ..'""�'. , J - ` Y t ` ,~"3tei. '" 'a '}• '4'� considered to have two front yards; one on ei
'q 1 , •. TO ill may, ' A- ,- each street. The petitioner would like to add
` M);' 1 , ,.;; a one car garage onto the west side of their
t ° f ,� a.. _,)►- : rr ` o . home which functions as a side yard even
t ., ' \� E_�°/ ' ` though it is adjacent to a street. The
,', ', 1 '`Ir 4... . „ .,I..„ -= ,- ,x , t addition would encroach into the 35 feet
front and setback b 22 feet. The south
s, y'' side of the home, which functions as their
front yard, will maintain the minimum 35 foot setback.
The west side of this parcel faces Hampton Court,which terminates to the north in a cul-de-sac. Four other homes are
located off of the cul-de-sac and the home directly across Hampton Court faces the side of the petitioner's home where the
addition is proposed. The addition will add a one car garage and a laundry area to the home and will match the existing
architecture. This addition will be replacing an enclosed porch which already encroaches into the 35 foot setback. The
proposed setback of 13 feet will meet the setback requirement for a side yard(which is 10 feet)and the addition will
actually be about 28 feet from the street pavement because the property line does not go all the way to the street. One
concern the Department had is if this addition would affect the neighbor directly across Hampton Court; however there
has not been any negative remonstrance received at this time. The petitioner will still need to receive Board of Public
Works and Engineering approval for the new dnveway cut onto the street. The Department is in support of this
variance.
Petitioner's Findings of Fact
Please refer to the petitioner's information packet for their Findings of Fact.
Recommendation: After all comments and concerns have been addressed The Dept. of Community Services
recommends positive consideration of Docket No. 14030014 V.
