Re: 4415 Country Club Blvd.
Dear Tim,
We are requesting a variance to reduce the west side yard setback to 3 feet at
4415 Country Club Blvd. The purpose for this request is to achieve two
objectives. The first is to save two mature trees located along the front of the site
facing Country Club Blvd. To accomplish this, the house is sited further south
than the required 25' front yard setback. This move obviously reduces the
buildable area for the house and the displacement of the plan requires an
increase in the width. The second goal is to diminish the garage's visual impact
from the street by taking advantage of the alley to the east. The narrow 10' alley
provides a challenge for vehicular access turning into the garage. To meet a
minimum required turning radius, the main east wall of the house needs to be
sited beyond the 7.2' side yard setback. If granted, the variance will allow
approximately 12' as a turning radius to access the garage and provide a deeper
setback to the east.
The neighbor's house to the west is located 10' from the shared property line and
has written a letter in support of the request.
We feel that it is beneficial for both the neighborhood and our Client to achieve
these two goals.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jim Yeary, AIA
