Council Action - No report Public Hearing: Special Use Permit – (SP 01-15) Mark and Nancy Moe Consider a Special Use Permit for a new porch by Mark and Nancy Moe who live at th 1760 19 Street NW. It is surrounded by single family residences, just to the east of Long Lake Road. The proposed addition consists of a new entryway, landing and front deck. The site is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and the proposed front porch sits within the 30 foot front yard setback requirement. Under Section 4-040 Lot Standards in an R-1 District, there are allowances of this type provided they meet requirements under that section and the Special Use Permit standards. The zoning setback for this zone for single family residential is 30 feet in the front yard. The proposal is for 24.8 feet. The allowance is a front yard setback to 24 feet, so essentially the Moe’s proposal has 0.8 of a foot to spare. The standards which the application needs to address found in the R-1 section of the zoning code, talks about exterior structure materials, roofed properly, integrated to the principal structure and that the base is not open and that the structure does not exceed 35 % of the width of the front of the dwelling, excluding the garage and shall not exceed 12 feet in width or less. The base of the addition is planned to be consistent with the existing structure. Submitted plans don’t show how the new roof will be integrated with the existing roof, but staff recommends roof plan submittal and approval prior to building permit issuance. A reduced setback to 24 feet, so 6 feet into the front yard, is allowed under the section. It allows a 12 foot width or 35 %. There home is 44 feet wide, 35 % is 15.4, so it is either/or, whichever is less, so in this case it is the 12 feet. Submitted porch plans illustrate a front yard encroachment of only 5 feet 4 inches and a width of 10 feet. Both
