Petitioner:Justin Moffett,Old Town Design Group:
• These variances request have been applied for before with other homes we built in this stretch of road
• We are required to build new structures to contributing standards,but they're not considered contributing in how
we measure new buildings
• We sought this very same variance for the home immediately adjacent to the subject home and it was approved a
year and a half ago
• We believe we should measure the height of the home next to us
• We are in align with the other homes on either side of the subject home
• All hardscape was added in as a lot coverage definition,so the driveway, sidewalks,and impervious surfaces are
included in the count
• We will make sure we are not negatively impacting the stormwater by working with the Engineering Department
Public Comments: None
Department Report: Angie Conn:
• They are working with the Engineering Dept.to address all of their comments and concerns

• The adjacent house will be similar in height

• The newly built homes fit more in character with what's being built in the past 10 years
• We recommend approval of these Variances

Filed by Matt Huffman of Old Town Design Group on behalf of Alan&Nathan Cohen,owners.
Petitioner:Justin Moffett,Old Town Design Group:
• This request falls in line with our other similar requests that we sough variance approvals on
• We will not negatively impact surrounding property owners and are working with them
• Our difficulty is we have to include all the impervious surfaces,the driveway and sidewalk into the lot coverage
calculation. If we take those out of account,we would fall under the maximum allotment for lot coverage.
• We will pay into the stormwater fund that Cannel is using to build additional stormwater infrastructure in the Old
Town area
Public Comments:
Terry Fleck,225 1st St. SW: We live directly north of this subject property. We are in favor of this request. Typically
when they build a new building,they build them higher and this will create additional drainage pressure.
Department Report: Angie Conn:
• The Petitioner is working with the Engineering Dept.to address the stormwater,drainage,and grading concerns
• They are paying into the stormwater fund
• The Engineering Dept.did a stormwater project just north of this site to help with the drainage in this area
