I. BACKGROUND In 1977, the City Council approved the Planned Unit Development (PUD) plan for the Northway Downs Development (PUD-77-08). The Northway Downs PUD requires that all habitable additions to the main structure maintain a side yard setback of eight feet, where as the garage is allowed to be located within five feet from the side yard property line. The applicant, Laurence Callait, submitted a request for administrative design review approval to permit construction of an addition to the main structure and the garage along the north side of the residence (P ADR-1490). To accommodate the proposal, the applicant also submitted PUD-77- 08-lM, a minor modification of the PUD, to reduce the minimum side yard setback from eight feet to five feet to allow the proposed addition to continue the wall line of the existing garage. The City has approved additions to four homes within the development since 1997, but this is the first proposal that requires a PUD modification because of the setback encroachment. Absent the modification, the applicant would have to modifY their design proposal to conform to the existing PUD setback requirements. During the noticing period of this application staff received comments from Mrs. Birtcil and the application was elevated from a PUD minor modification request to a PUD major modification request. As with all PUD major modifications, this application is now subject to the review and recommendation by the Planning Commission and review and final decision by the City Council. II. SITE DESCRIPTION The subject site is a 4,455-square-foot lot located south of the Valley Avenue and Northway Road intersection. The applicant's home is an attached, single-family residence. All existing improvements on the subject site are located within the approved building setbacks. A wood fence is located on the property line and around the front courtyard. There is a palm tree located along the north side of the driveway, adjacent to the garage. The properties to the north, south, and east are attached, single-family residences. Heatherlark Park is located across the street to the south. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of a major modification to the approved Planned Unit Development (Northway Downs, PUD-77-08) to allow construction within the required eight-foot side yard building setback and design review approval for the construction of the addition and modification ofthe garage location at 5745 Northway Road.
