4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: 4.1 Section 1004.01E (Exception) reads: "If after May 21,1959, existing houses on 50% or more of the frontage of any block have a predominant front yard different from that herein specified, all buildings hereafter erected shall conform to this predominant front yard depth, provided this regulation shall not be interpreted so as to require a front yard on more than 40 feet in depth. 4.2 Section 1004.02D5 (Yard Requirements - Side yard Setback) requires a minimum side yard setback for a principal structure of 5 feet. 4.3 The Bean home lies on a block with other homes built before May 21,1959 and which have varying setbacks greater that the current 30 foot front yard setback requirement. Specifically, the Bean home is set back from the front yard property line approximately 48 feet. The property to the north of the Bean home lies approximately 46 feet from the front property line and the home to the south lies approximately 44 feet from the front property line. 4.4 Because there is no pattern in the set back differences, the Community Development Department has determined that each home has its own predominant setback established where the current structure lies, versus a predominant setback based on all homes on this block of Dunlap Street. 4.5 The Bean home also lies 3 feet from the north property line, which encroaches 2 feet into the required 5 foot side yard setback. 4.6 The Bean home is a 62 year old bungalow situated on an 11,966 square foot lot that affords the property owners 3,590 square feet of impervious coverage. The proposal would create 2,352 square feet of impervious coverage on the parcel, well below that afforded by the City Code. 4.7 The current home is a small bungalow with an existing single stall attached garage that is narrow and a 12 foot wide driveway, both of which present challenges for the Beans and their two vehicles. The home is situated in the middle of the lot with the existing attached garage located at the northwest comer of the structure, 3 feet from the north property line. The home is setback 18 feet from the south property line. 4.8 The Bean proposal includes constructing a second story, remodeling portions of the main level, including a new entrance and front porch, expanded kitchen, turning the existing single attached garage stall into storage and shop area, and constructing a new 20 foot wide by 24 foot deep attached garage on to the front of the home.
