With the proposed addition, the applicant is requesting three variances. Due to the design of the proposed addition, all three conditions are contingent upon each other. The proposed addition would: . Encroach four feet into the southern side yard setback where nine feet would be required; . Increase the lot's structure coverage from 18.2 percent to 25.7 percent where 25 percent is the limit; and, . Reduce the landscaped area on the lot from 65.1 percent to 58.3 percent where 65 percent is the minimum. The existing 514 square feet detached garage would remain unchanged. The applicant has submitted a letter addressing the variance criteria, a site plan ofthe property, and elevations of the existing and proposed structure (Attachment 3A-I). Although the applicant's letter states that the property is in the R-2 Zone, the property is actually in the R-3 Zone. This typo does not impact the applicant's proposal. There are no previous variance requests on file for this property. The property is within the Hunters Park Homeowners Association, which plays a role in the variance process and is discussed in more detail in the below section. 2.
