4.2 The Gregg home was constructed in 1951 and lies on a 10,680 square foot (80 foot by 133. 5 foot) lot and an impervious coverage allowance of 3,204 square feet. The home has a foundation size estimated at 1,128 square feet; an attached garage of 484 square feet; patio, driveway, and sidewalk area estimated at 1,541 square feet; and an 80 square foot garden shed, creating an existing impervious coverage of 3,233 square feet or 30.3%. 4.3 The proposed 528 square foot detached accessory building increases the parcel's impervious coverage to 3,761 square feet, thus a variance is necessary before Mr. Norman can obtain a buiIding permit.

Specifically, the Housing Plan encourages reinvestment into existing housing to provide increased functionality to retain families within the community to maintain a quality neighborhood. 5.2 The existing attached garage is a small two stall garage that has limited storage options, especially when tow vehicles are parked inside. Further, the existing shed is ages and in need or repair. Hence, the proposed 528 square foot accessory building would provide added storage to the property that currently does not exist, which structure would be an amenity and benefit to Mr. Norman and any subsequent home owner. 5.3 Section I004.0IA6 reads: "Maximum Total Surface Area: Including detached accessory buildings, principal structures, pavement surfaces (asphalt, concrete and/or brick, stone or other paver), the total impervious surface on a residential lot or parcel shall not exceed 30% of the total lot or parcel size." The Gregg parcel is 10,680 square feet in size, affording 3,204 square feet of impervious coverage. The parceI has an existing coverage of 3,233 square feet and a proposed coverage of 3,761 square feet, requiring a 528 sq. ft. variance. 5.4 Section 1013.02 states: Where there are practical difficulties or unusual hardships in the way of carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of this code, the city PF3494 - ReA 072103 - Page 2 of 5
