5.0 S'T'AFF COMMENTS & FINDINGS: * 5.1 The isvold's 1956 home has limited options for adding an attached two stall garage. Specifically, Staff has concluded the following in options exist: The existing single stall garage can be removed, widened, and constructed as a double deep garage (this proposal may require a Setback Permit) The existing attached single stall garage can be removed to make way for a detached accessory building in the rear yard with an extended driveway. The existing garage could remain and are attached garage constructed as proposed by the applicant. The existing garage can remain and are attached garage constructed to face (door) west, requiring the existing driveway to be removed and relocated to the west side of the parcel. 5.2 The parcel has a number of mature pine trees that limit options if preservation is desired and the parcel does not have adequate depth width between the existing structure and the east property line to afford an addition wide enough for two vehicles. 5.3 Section 1004.02D5 ren wires a minimum twincival structure setback in a front yard of 30 feet* The Gisvold proposal to construct a 22 foot deep attached garage would encroach 15.5 feet into the required front yard setback due to the existing attached garage bring 6 feet further luck on the parcel than the home. In effect, this means that 1 4 of the exterior parking space will be within /on the public boulevard /right -of- way. 5.4 The neighbors at 964, 965, and 976 Transit Avenue have reviewed the proposal and support the request (see attached). 5.5 Other approved structure variances include: Meade, 388 South Mc arrons Boulevard, 16.5 feet — 13.5 foot variance; Graham, 671 Shryer Avenue, 28 feet — 12 foot variance; Wilson, 3107 west Owasso Boulevard, 17 feet - 13 foot variance; Vazquez, 812 Lovell Avenue, 22.5 feet — 7.5 foot variance; and Bean, 1 760 Dunlap Street, 24 feet - 16 foot variance. 5.6 The Community Development Staff concluded it is not reasonable or practical to require Mr. Gisvold to remodel his existing attached garage into a double deep structure or to require the removal of the existing attached garage to construct a detached accessory building in the rear yard. However, the Community Development Staff` did determine that an 'alternative does exist that would eliminate the need for the parking variance. The alternative proposes the attached garage face west and the driveway be relocated to the west side of the parcel, which would eliminate vehicles from parking in the right-of-way.
