AV 02-01 .. Planning: For reasons explained below, staff will be unable to recommend approval of your variance request. Should you decide to proceed, the current application submitted for the administrative variance must be withdrawn and a standard variance application should be applied for in its place. An administrative variance only allows for a 75% reduction of a. required yard. The requested variance calls for a reduction greater than 75%. Fees for a standard variance are $1860, Should you decide to proceed, the following revisions to your site plan will be required. Please A. 6. C. D. E. F. G. Please show on existing plot plan: Location of garage as part of existing house Distance between existing detached garage and existing house Show breezeway connecting existing house to existing garage Approximate location of adjacent structures on adjacent lots Show all paved areas on plot plan Provide a summary table on plot plan showing: site acreage, existing zoning and land use, building coverage existing and proposed, square footage of all structures, number of parking spaces Label property lines and property line dimensions correctly label detached garage on Carport and Shed Elevation plan, currently it is identified as " existing house ". Engineering: 1. Please submit a recent Preliminary Title Report (PR) for the property. The PR should be dated within 6-months of the project submittal date. Please show all easements and encumbrances as indicated in Schedule "B" of the PR. Indicate the future disposition of all easements and encumbrances (i.e., "to remain," "quitclaim," etc.) on the site plan. Please show the bearings and distances of the parcel boundary on the site plan in accordance with the legal description in the PR. Please show existing topography and drainage patterns for the site. Show this information on the site plan for 50-feet around the perimeter of the site. Please show the locations of any existing slopes or drainage ditches. 2. 3. 4. Staff has conducted a review of the project for engineering issues of concern. Engineering issues that must be resolved or adequately addressed prior to staff making a determination on the proposed project are as follows: ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: Should you decide to proceed with the standard variance request, you should be aware that staff will be unable to recommend approval of the variance because the necessary findings cannot be made. 1. There are not exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or intended use that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone. The subject property has no significant topographical features which would justify the use of the front yard as a parking/building area, and the lot is of adequate size and shape to facilitate parking in the areas permitted by the zoning ordinance. In addition there also exists adequate space for the air compressorlenclosure within the permitted building envelope. 2. The requested variance is not necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property owners in the same vicinity because more than adequate parking commensurate with residential use currently exists on the subject property. The property currently has one two-car garage as well as a second oversized garage that could house at least two additional vehicles. Additional paved parking area also exists in the side yard setback. Surrounding properties have single two car garages and maintain the required front yard setback. 3. The granting of the variance is injurious to the neighboring property because the carport is being constructed on the front property line and has effectively eliminated a substantial portion of the required front yard setback. The compressor enclosure also encroaches into the rear yard setback, Setbacks are designed to maintain adequate space between buildings and uses to ensure light, health, safety, and general welfare. Engineering: Traffic & Transportation 1. Please show James Drive on the site plan. Show the dimensions and existing improvements. Gradina & Drainaae 1. Please be advised, City standard GS-15 requires a minimum 5-foot offset to any flow line from any structure. The site plan shows less than this 5-foot standard for both structures. 2. Please label the block walls that are being shown on the site plan as existing or proposed. Miscellaneous 1. Please label Section A-A and B-B, and show dimensions and the property line, as indicated on the redlined check print. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Will the "porch structure" have rain gutters? Please have the project Civil Engineer and Architect sign and date the site plan. Please add a Vicinity Map to the site plan. Please label the site plan as AV 02-01, Sheet's 1 and 2 of 2. Enclosed for the applicant's use for making the requested revisions is a redlined check print of the project. This check print must be returned with the revised plans to facilitate continued staff review.
