His concerns related to potential increase in noise and <br />interference with light into his home, which includes bedrooms on the side abutting the <br />proposed garage. The Commission expressed concern for the impact on the neighbor, and <br />discussed alternatives to mitigate the potential impacts, including clarification that the <br />proposed garage addition would be only one story in height. <br /> <br />The applicant clarified that the eave on the proposed addition would be no more than 6 inches <br />in width, complying with the ordinance. The applicant further clarified that the existing home <br />and addition would be remodeled to roof the entire structure, and re-side the building, adding <br />some architectural features updating the front façade. <br />A motion was made to approve the variance with the 2 original staff conditions which included: <br />A. The applicant is able to verify the setback distance as a part of the building permitting <br />process, based on the existing survey and established lot lines. <br />B. The addition will consist of building materials and architecture that match the existing <br />structure. <br /> <br />After discussion, the Planning Commission voted to amend the motion to include two <br />additional conditions, as follows: <br />C. The addition will be no more than a single story in height, consistent with the existing <br />building height. <br />D. The roof of the addition will include an eave of no more than 6 inches in width, to <br />minimize encroachment toward the abutting property line. <br /> <br />The amendment passed 6-1, as did the amended full motion. With these four conditions, the <br />Planning Commission recommends the approval of the variance. <br /> <br /> <br />GENERAL INFORMATION <br />Applicant: Thomas Brama <br /> <br />Owner: Travis Hoban <br /> <br />Location: 3404 Roosevelt Street NE <br /> <br />Existing Land Use Low-Density Residential <br /> <br />Zoning: R-1 Single Family District <br /> <br />Surrounding Land North: Low-Density Residential / Zoned: R-1 Single Family District <br />Use / Zoning: East: Low-Density Residential / Zoned: R-1 Single Family District <br /> South: Low-Density Residential / Zoned: R-1 Single Family District <br />West: Low-Density Residential / Zoned: R-1 Single Family District <br />36
