32 feet * .75 = 24 foot setback from the front lot line and side yard corner for the <br />Covered Porch. In this case, the Covered Porch may extend up to eight (8) feet from the <br />principal structure into the front setback) <br /> <br />Current setback 36.5 feet x 0.75 = 27.38 feet. Proposed setback 36.5 feet – 7 feet = 29.5 feet. In <br />addi�on, the front porch addi�on will not encroach into the 25 / 10 side yard setbacks. <br /> <br />If this variance is accepted, it will not create a land use issue for R1 zoning. The exis�ng <br />building’s height will s�ll be less than 30 feet. The floor area ra�o would s�ll be less than 0.3. <br />The lot coverage by structure would s�ll less than 25%. And the minimum landscape lot area <br />would s�ll be larger than the required 65% per 1320.06 District Requirement Chart. <br /> <br />This open front porch addi�on will not alter the essen�al character of the city. In fact, the porch <br />would bring nostalgia, charm, and a theme of relaxa�on, while it also has the useful func�on of <br />providing shelter to the main entry. <br />Also, this open front porch addi�on will improve site water drainage by moving the rainwater <br />further away from the home’s founda�on. <br /> <br />Thank you for your considera�on of this proposed project. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Erik Mahin <br />Plekkenpol Builders, Inc.
