Staff noted the proposed request was a revision to an existing PD -R to allow the addition of a sunroom to an existing single-family home. Staff stated the request was necessary to allow the construction since building envelopes were indicated on the approved plan. Staff noted there were no outstanding issues associated with the request. There being no further items for discussion, the Committee then forwarded the item to the full Commission for final action. H. ANALYSIS: The request is to allow the construction of an approximately 300 square foot sunroom to the rear of an existing single-family home. The home contains an existing deck, which will be removed to allow the construction of the sunroom. The previous approval included buildable areas or building envelopes on the proposed site plan. To allow an increase in the building envelope it is necessary to revise the PD -R to allow the construction. Staff feels the proposed addition will have minimal to no adverse impact on the adjoining property owners. Screening is not an issue with the site. Adjacent to the applicant's property is a 3 FILE NO_: Z -3968-B (Cont_ six-foot brick fence and the property to the south has a solid wall adjacent to the proposed construction area.
