Administrator at a public hearing held on June 15, 2006. This action was subsequently appealed by Mr. Dustin Boyce, adjacent neighbor at 4546 Second Street, and the appeal is currently before the City Council for review. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicants propose to construct one-story additions totaling approximately 291 sq. ft. on the front, north side, and rear of the house and two-story additions totaling approximately 294 sq. ft. on the southern side and rear of the house. A porte-cochere and second-floor balcony would also be constructed on the southern side of the house and a covered porch would be constructed on the front of the house. In addition, the existing shed-style roofs at the rear of the home would be changed to a gable-style roof. The additions would be set back a minimum of 50\12 and 37 feet from the front property line for the addition and porch, respectively; 7 feet from the northern side property line; 18\12 and 6 feet from the southern side property line for the second floor addition and porte-cochere/balcony, respectively; and 53 feet from the rear property line. The proposed additions, totaling 585 square feet, would result in a 3,1 78-square-foot house and a 26.7% floor area ratio (FAR) on the approximately 11,888-square foot lot. With the proposed roof modification, the height of the house would measure approximately 24 feet 8 inches as defined by the Municipal Code (height measured from the average grade that the building intersects to the mean height between the roof ridge and its corresponding eave). The height of the structure would measure approximately 32 feet 2 inches from the lowest grade at the front of the proposed porch to the highest roof ridge and would measure approximately 28 feet from the lowest grade at the rear of the house to the highest roof ridge. The additions would match the exterior colors and materials of the existing dwelling: yellow-colored lapped wood and shingle siding with white-colored trim. Two base material options are proposed for the front porch: brick or ledgestone. The existing house and additions would be roofed with a new "high definition" composition shingle roof. The proposed addition complies with all applicable Code requirements, including setbacks. However, Mr. Boyce has applied for administrative design review approval to construct an addition to the rear of his house. Mr. Boyce's application is scheduled for the September 27, 2006, Planning Commission hearing and several neighbors, including Mr. Boag, oppose the application. Should Mr. Boyce's addition be approved and built, the applicants' proposed one- story addition on the north side would not comply with the 17-foot separation requirement between dwellings (approximately 11 \12-feet is proposed, please see Exhibit C). Therefore, the applicants were directed by staff to also apply for a variance in case Mr. Boyce's addition is approved and built. The applicants submitted the variance application in conformance with this direction. SR:06:221 Page 3
