Structure Height – Meets Requirements <br /> <br />The Zoning Code states that accessory structures in the R-2 District shall not exceed <br />fifteen (15) feet or the height of the principal structure to which it is accessory, whichever <br />is lower. The proposed structure would not exceed the 15-foot height maximum for <br />accessory structures. <br /> <br />E. Structure Size – Meets Requirements <br /> <br />The Zoning Code states that accessory structures associated with residential uses shall not <br />exceed seven hundred and twenty-eight (728) square feet in floor area. Both the existing <br />structure at 371 square feet and proposed accessory structure at 480 square feet do not <br />exceed this requirement. <br /> <br />F. Tree Preservation – Meets Requirements <br /> <br />The proposed construction would impact two (2) trees on the property. A final tree <br />inventory would need to be completed by the property owner before a building permit <br />would be issued. Initial calculations show that less than 10% of the significant caliper <br />inches will be removed with this project. If more than the 10% are removed as a result of <br />the project, the applicant will be required to meet the City’s tree preservation standards, <br />and mitigation may be necessary. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Existing Proposed <br />Square Feet % Square Feet % <br />House/Garage 1,482 17.91% 1,482 17.91% <br />Accessory Structure 371 4.48% 480 5.80% <br />Decks/Patios 670 8.09% 670 8.09% <br />Driveway/Walkways 420 5.07% 580 7.00% <br /> <br />Structural Coverage 2,943 35.56% 3,212 38.81% <br /> <br />Landscaping Coverage 64.44% 61.19% <br />Lot Size 8,276
