Page 1 of 1 Bryan Lloyd To: david Subject: Setback Permit concerns Hi again, David. The Building Official (Don I�Zunson) did a litde more research on your proposal. According to City data (��ia the online mapping server accessible from the City's homepage), it appears that your house is about 30 feet from the south property line; if this is accurate, there's not sufficient room for a 24-foot garage, a 6-foot separation from the residential building, and a setback of any kind. (r1 3-foot setback and a 24-foot garage, as you've proposed, would only leave a 3-foot separarion from the house.) Even if the City's data is off by as much as a foot or two, you'd still need a formal variance for the encroachment into the side yard setback and/or the reduced separation from the house. If you have a survey of your property that shows at least 33 feet between the foundarion of the house and the property line (i.e., 3-foot setback + 24- foot garage + 6-foot separarion from the house), we can still consider your Setback Pertnit application. If you're able to demonstrate that there i�indeed sufficient space for your proposal, and if the Development Review Committee does approve the Setback Perirut by the tune you'd like to pour the slab, there is still the matter of the 10-day appeal period following the DRC's decision. So far, I've only heard from your neighbor to the south, Andy Quist; your neighbor to the north and the three homeowners across the street still need to contact me (b�� mail or phone or email) in order to dispense with the 10-day appeal period. And, of course, you'll �vant to submit y our building plans (if you haven't already) so that a building permit may be issued. 1�1r. 1�lunson also pointed out that, according to building code requirements, the vertical distance bet�veen the the garage footings and the house footings can't be any greater than the horizontal distance between them. That is, assuming your house footings are 8 feet deep, your garage footings would need to be at least 5 feet deep if the garage wall is 3 feet away from house wall. Don noted that the deep footings and the fire-protection that would be required for a garage wall so closc to the house �vill substantiall}' increase the cost of the project - an attached garage may turn out to be a comparably priccd option. Despite my best efforts to help you meet your goal of pouring cement by the iniddle of this month, I'm not sure we can still make it - especially if 5�ou'll need a variance.
