<br />4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: <br /> <br />4.1 Daniel Norris has submitted a proposal to replace and enlarge his existing attached <br />garage with a much larger attached (1,560 sq. ft.) attached garage that would encroach <br />into the required rear yard setback and the setback adjacent a public right-of-way. The <br />proposal seeks to construct a 26 foot deep by 60 foot long attached garage to be placed <br />adjacent to the frontage road connecting Sextant Avenue to Transit Avenue. The City <br />Code (Section 1004.02D4 and 1004.04D5) regulates where structures can be placed on a <br />comer lots, through minimum setback requirements. In the case of the Norris parcel, <br />there is a 30 foot minimum rear yard setback applied to the north property line and a 30 <br />foot minimum setback (side yard adjacent a public street) applied to the west property <br />line (frontage road). <br /> <br />4.2 The Norris home was constructed in 1954 and lies on an irregular shaped lot calculated to <br />be 14,971 square feet in size. The lot has an impervious coverage allowance of 4,491 sq. <br />ft. The parcel currently includes a house foundation size of 1,699 sq. ft; an existing <br />attached garage of 460 sq. ft.; existing driveway of 528 sq. ft; side walk & patio of 645 <br />sq. ft; for an existing impervious coverage total of 3,332 sq. ft. <br /> <br />4.3 Variance Conditions Proposed: <br /> <br />SECTION 1004.02D4 Existill!!

The existing Norris principal structure was constructed prior to <br />the installation of the frontage road that created the corner lot situation. That being <br />said, the structure lies just over 21 feet from the west property line. The proposal <br />by Mr. Norris seeks the ability to construct an attached garage 8 feet from the west <br />property line adjacent the frontage or a 22 foot variance. <br /> <br />PF3541 - ReA 121503 - Page 2 of7 <br />
