Xinor variance Request Sandra and Bora 277' Borth OXf Rosevill., xi Narrative Bote: re.pon..s are consistent with tho.e required in the PLAHHIHG APPLICATIOH HARRATIVB RBQUIRBKBHTS fora. 1. Size of current site: 133' x 68'. 2. Nature of current and proposed buildings: residence (both) -addition to current building (residence). 3. Proposed use of land and buildings: residence (no change) -addition would include a kitchen. dining/living room and a half bath. 4. The current zoning limits and its design limits our ability to fully utilize the space in the existing building. A street right of way exists to the north of the existing building which, under the current zoning, requires a thirty (30') set back rather than the usual side lot set back of 10". The current building is as large (width, height and length) as it can be without a minor variance regarding the set back. If approved, the requested minor variance would allow us to expand the current building to the north as well as allow us to utilize the existing building more efficiently. For example, the existing building has a stairway from second level (west end) to the basement. The stairway effectively splits the lower level (west end) in half and severely limits the utilization of the basement space (the east end of the lower level houses the garage) . With a variance allowing for expansion to the north, we will also change the access to the basement (west end) from the current access to a north access. This will allow us to eliminate the existing stairway and more fully utilize the existing space in the basement area. 5. Not applicable 6. Not applicable 7. The current zoning creates a hardship regarding the efficient utilization of the existing because of the design and setback limitations cited above. The requested variance will also allow us to expand some of the existing upper level rooms in the current building as well as to separate the main living areas from the privacy areas including the bedrooms.
