4 +0 REVIEW of QUEST: 4.1 James Kueffer has submitted a proposal to construct a detached garage 69 feet from the front (north) property line and 10 feet from the west side lot line. The Kueffer home was constructed prior to the current 1959 City Code and lies approximately 138 feet f Form the Parker Avenue front (north) property line. The detached garage location will be an encroachment of 70 feet into the front yard area of the parcel. 4.2 The neighboring home ($90 parker) was constructed in the last three years and lies roughly 90 feet from the Parker Avenue property line, A new garage on that site is set within 46 feet of the front property line. The new detached garage at 890 parker is 20 feet in front of (north of) the new home. Through the project review, staff has determined that the attached garage at 890 Parker A v entre (adjacent lot to the cast) was approved (no variance) in 2000 to allover the attached garage and driveway to set in front of the building (the home). Parkcr Avenue lots in this area are exceptionally deep averaging more than 450 feet from north to south. 4.3 The I ueffer lot is designated Low Density Residential to the Comprehensive Plan and it is located in the R -1, Single family Residence Zoning District. 4.4 The proposed iniprovernent seeps a 24 foot x 24 foot, 576 square foot detached accessory building in the front yard of the lot. The proposed detached accessory building would be placed no closer than 10 feet to the vest lot line, inhere the adjacent neighboring house is set back 125 Poet from the front (north) property line. This location is 30 feet south of the ue f e'er "s proposed garage structure. The merest neighbor has a parking area for two or more ears directly adjacent to (and west of) the proposed garage. 4.5 The new east -west driveway starts 71 feet from the north property line, joining the existing joint north -south driveway along the eas terry property line. By retaining a portion of the existing driveway and sharing it with the neighbor, existing trees can be saved. The ueffer lot has a 10 foot slope and elevation drop from the house to the proposed garage site. The typical height of such proposed garage walls is 9 to 10 feet. As an alternative, the proposed garage would, if located to match the home setback, cut deeply into the front yard slope and could require a side yard setback variance. 4.6 The Kueffer parcel is 41,729 square feet in size, affording over 12,500 square feet of impervious area. The current principal structure ( 1,201 s.f.), proposed detached garage (576 s.f.) and driveway (1,500 s.f.) occupy are estimated 3,277 square feet of impervious area. In addition there is a deck and separate detached 180 s_f. shed in the rear yard. ue ffer is not near the approximately 1 2,500 square feet of impervious area before the maximum limit is reached. Mr. i uef f er has proposed to remove the existing driveway from a point 115 feet back from the front property line, up the slope to the existing garage — a distance of 180 feet or more. He proposes to remove the existing detached .700 s.f garage along the rear, east side of the property. . PF3469 - RCA 06/02/03- Page 2 of 6
