Monroe Street North 20 feet of Lot 61 and the South 30 feet of Lot 62, Shadowlawn Addition Qua From the area regulations of Section 36-156(2) to permit construction of an addition to an existing accessory building which will have a reduced side yard setback and which will occupy more than 30% of the required rear yard. The applicant wishes to expand the existing two car garage to allow for the parking of 4 vehicles, including two antique cars. The existing garage has a 1 foot setback and the proposed expansion would continue along the same line. Single-family residence Single-family residence The applicant proposes to expand an existing two car garage by adding additions to both the front and rear of the structure. The structure has only a 1 foot side yard setback and the proposed additions would be built with that same one foot setback. The ordinance requires a 3 foot sideyard setback for accessory structures. The ordinance limits coverage of the required rear yard of this property to 375 square feet. Once the additions are October 31, 1994 Item No.: 2 Wont.) complete, the coverage of the required rear yard by the accessory structure will be 415 square feet. The applicant has requested enlargement of the existing garage to accommodate storage of two antique vehicles plus the two vehicles driven by the applicant. The adjacent property owner, to the south, has an accessory structure in his rear yard, however, it is located in the opposite corner farthest away from this structure in question. The pitch of the existing accessory structure's roof is such that run-off extends beyond the property line. Staff assumes that the proposed additions will maintain the same roof design. If this is the case, the applicant should install guttering on the accessory structure to catch the run-off and keep it from flowing onto the neighbor's property. Staff feels that the proposal is reasonable and, with attention to collecting the run-off and protecting the adjacent property, staff is supportive of the requested variances. C. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested side yard setback variance and the area coverage variance subject to the applicant installing guttering or some other design device to catch run-off and keep it from flowing onto the adjacent property. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: (OCTOBER 31, 1994) The applicant, Claudia Barone, was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the item and a recommendation of approval subject to the applicant installing guttering or some other design device to catch run-off and keep it from flowing onto the adjacent property. In response to a question from the Board, Mrs. Barone stated that the neighbor to the south had no objection. She also stated that plans for the building included gutters. A motion was made to approve the sideyard setback and area coverage variances subject to the applicant installing guttering on the building. The motion was approved by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 1 open position. 2
