MEMORANDUM To : From: Date: WSB Project No. Request : RECOMMENDATION Honorable Mayor and City Cou ncil Members Mark Casey, City Manager Kelsey Johnson, AICP, City Planner November 25, 2014 City Council Regular Meeting for December 9, 2014 02170-100 Request for a Variance from the Required Front and Side Yard Setbacks in O rd er to Construct a Ground Floor and Basement Addition on the Property Located at 3635 Chelmsford Road The Applicant's request for a variance to allow for the construction of a first story and basement addition and located 7.2 -feet from the side property line is consistent with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the City's Comprehensive Plan. Staff does, however, have some reservations about the size of the addition (nearly doubling the li ving space of the home, and nearly doubling the length of the bui lding wa ll along the non-conforming side lot line). While any expansion of the existing home would require a va riance, th e new addition could be co nfigured to meet the existing setback requirements. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this request on November 24, 2014 and recommended approval of the variance requests with a vote of 5-0 .
