Plan Evaluation 1. Zoning Regulations Section 1320.06 – District Provisions A. Proposed Use (Section 1320.05) The garage will be used for the storage of vehicles. The garage is the only accessory structure on the property. B.

The detached garage will be located approximately 20 feet from the principal structure. C. Lot Coverage (Section 1320.06) The R-1 Single Family District standards have a 25 percent maximum for the lot that may be covered by structures. The property is 0.6 acres or approximately 25,700 square feet. The footprint of the house is 1,870 square feet, and the proposed garage addition will increase the total garage footprint to 1,456 square feet. The total proposed structure coverage on the property is 3,326 square feet, which is about 13 percent of the total property area. Along with the proposed garage addition, the Applicant is planning to expand the driveway the width of the garage to provide driveway access to the garage addition. The driveway expansion would tie into the existing driveway. The existing driveway is about 1,359 square feet, and the site plan indicates the expansion would add about 912 square feet of driveway. The proposed addition and driveway expansion, along with existing lot coverage, would result in a total of 5,597 square feet of impervious coverage on the property. District standards limit the total impervious surface coverage to 35 percent and requires a minimum landscape lot area of 65 percent. The impervious surface coverage for the property including the proposed addition would be 21.8 percent and the landscape lot area would be 78.2 percent, meeting district standards.
