� t <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> To: Chair and Planning Commissioners <br /> From: Kim Moore-Sykes, Assistant City Manager <br /> Date: August 16,2011 <br /> Subject: Encroachment Variance for Front Porch and Stoop with Steps—3408 Maplewood Drive <br /> Background. Cam Sandwick of Albertsson Hansen Architecture,Ltd.,met with Staff to discuss the <br /> possibility of obtaining an encroachment variance for her clients,the owners of 3408 Maplewood Drive, <br /> who would like to add a front porch to their home. <br /> A front porch is part of a renovation project that they are planning for the front of their home. Their garage <br /> extends beyond the front of the house by approximately 10.5 feet. The home owners are proposing to fill in <br /> that space from the side of the garage to the end of the house with a 10.5' x 30' (323SF) enclosed screen <br /> porch. As presented on the site plans,it does appear that the garage does currently encroach <br /> approximately 4 feet into the front yard setback. <br /> In addition,they are proposing a front stoop with steps that will extend 5.9' beyond the front porch into the <br /> front yard setback. The Zoning Ordinance does allow stoops to encroach up to 5' into the front setback <br /> (§152.177 ENCROACHMENT 1N YARDS) <br /> Ms.Sandwick will be in attendance at the Planning Commission meeting to present the proposal and <br /> answer questions. <br /> Attachments. <br /> • Site Plans for 3408 Maplewood Drive <br /> • Photos of the house <br /> F:\Planning\Staff Reports\2011\08162011 3408 Maplewood Front Poch and steps variance concept review stf rpt.doc08162011 3408 <br /> Maplewood Front Poch and steps variance concept review stf rpt.doc <br />
