SUBMITTEC7 BY: Theodore Wiper, property owner REVIEWED BY: Philp Carlson, AICP, City Planning Consultant EJCP~ANATICINIQEBG RIFTICIN Mr. Wiper is requesting variances to the rear yard s,Ptbacic and Side yard setback in order to construct atwo-story action to the house and a new two-stcary doubts garage, The addition and game are shown an the attached sitr. plan sketches. There era two separate variance requests, although they are part of one integrated building project. They will tie discussed together in this report, but thr.re are two Separate staff recommendations, and the Planning Commission should make separafie recommendations on tha two nests. The r+car yard settaa~dc variance is requested in order to aacornmodate expansion plans for the kitchen, living room, dining roam, and upstairs bedrooms. The 2licent hatieves it is nr~asssary to extend west, encroaching Qn the rear yard, instead of south into the available lot area on the south side Of th® house. The side yard setback variance is requested to aeaommodate a new 22-foot wide garage, repkicng ttie existing 18-foot wide garage, which is in poor shape and too nan'ow by Yoday's standards. Siff AnallySls: ~ The Wiper lot is below the minimum size requirernerrt for the R-1 District. The lot is 79'x96', or about 7,545 square feet in size; the ordin2~n+ce minimum is 10,dOQ square feet. The width is adequate, but the depth is Less than typical or desirable. The ordinance states, in §9-2.03, that su#r a nc~n-conforming lot may not be "more intensively develope+d". Many of the lots on the ialoCk between Asbury and North Snellir~ i?rive are of similar dimensions as the Wiper lot. • Even though the existing lot and house are non-conformir~ as to area, they are informing in their uSB, and the ord'irtanCe standards in §9-2.02, 5ubci. 8~b) and 9(a} aPp1~1 These standards allow afterations, additions, or enlargemerrt of non-conforming uses as Iong as all ttthsr standards (inchding settradss) are adhered to. The proposed project does not meet this test, cnkae i~th the house end garage nod settaack variances. ~~~ ~~
