4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: 4.1 Michael Davis has submitted a proposal to construct a detached accessory building on his lot. The structure, a 30 foot by 34 foot (1,020 sq. ft) detached garage would be located in the general location of the existing detached garage on the premises. The City Code limits detached accessory buildings to a maximum size of 1,008 sq. ft. and impervious coverage to 30% ofthe lot area. In this case, the proposed 1,020 sq. ft. detached accessory building is 12 sq. ft. more than allowed by the Code with a Conditional Use Permit, and the total impervious surface coverage for the parcel upon completion of the proposed improvements is estimated at 3,534 sq. ft. or 530 sq. ft. above the parcels allotment. 4.2 The Davis home was constructed in 1954 and lies on a 10,013 square foot (75 fuetby 133.5 feet) lot. The lot has an impervious coverage allowance of 3,004 sq. ft and a rear yard allowance of 900 sq. ft. The parcel currently includes a house foundation size of 1,091 sq. ft; an existing detached accessory building side of 572 sq. ft.; existing driveway of 1,423 sq. ft; all totaling 3,086 sq. ft or 82 sq. ft. more that the City Code allows for the Davis parcel. 4.3 Variance Conditions Proposed: SECTION 1004.01A3 Existing Condition Proposed Condition Variance Requested Detached Accessory Building Size 1,008 sq. ft. 572 sq. ft 1,020 sq. ft.
