Home My WebLink AboutPacket for HO 11-22-21 November 11, 2021 RE: Somers Garage Floor Area Variance (PZ-2021-00211 V) To whom it may concern, The scope of the project is a new addition to an existing single-family residence for George and Imelda Somers. The Somers have lived in this house since the mid 1980’s and have made many improvements over the years. The new addition will accommodate a new two car garage and mudroom with direct access to the existing home. The existing house per our field measurements includes 2417 square feet of living and 1239 square feet of an existing garage. The cities property record reflects less area, and we are therefore over the allowed 75% garage ratio to interior space requirement per the code. The actual ratio of our field verified dimensions results in a 73.9% ratio. Therefore, to allow for the 1124 square foot one story addition, which is comprised of 630 square feet of garage and 114 square feet of mudroom, we are requesting the variance to allow the construction of the addition. Using the city’s property record areas, the ratio of garage to interior is 81% Sincerely, MARK W.

PZ-2021-00211 V Mark Demerly The request of a higher ratio is only do to the improper records of the city for the parcel. The actual measurements of the house is below the 75% ratio. This request will not adversely effect any other homes or properties in the area around the property, and actually complies with the ordinance when the actual square footage is used in lieu of the city property records. The strict application would result in less than a 2 car garage due to the existing garage area, which is not directly connected to the house. Again the actual square footage of the house is more than the property record and meets the code.
