Our single-story house was originally built in 1958 and remains largely in its original condition -original windows, 100-amp panel, and 17' x 20' non-conforming garage. We are applying for this modification permit to allow us to modestly expand the existing square footage (by approximately 690 square feet) while keeping the garage in its current non- conforming state -Section 20.38.040 (Nonconforming Structures). Our house is single story with the garage located in the front of the property. The garage is non-conforming due to its measurements of 17' x 20' which was built to code when constructed but doesn't meet current code requirement of 20' x 20'. To further complicate matters, the northeast wall of our garage is 7' from the property line and currently sits within the 1 O' setbacks. Our project would add approximately 690 sq. ft to the current 1648 sq ft. This would be accomplished by "pushing out" the back of the house to provide more common space for our young family of 5. The plans would keep the house single story, and other than adding a door to the side yard from the garage and relocating the door from the garage into the house, the garage would not be touched. The requested modification will be compatible with existing development in our neighborhood. Our cul de sac of 11 homes largely embodies the original spirit of the homes. Two of the eleven have been totally re-built, but the other 9 (including ours) have all kept the smaller footprints & single-story layouts. Including our neighbor directly across from us that has the same challenging lot & structure and has overcome said challenges. Our structure / parcel presents unique physical characteristics & strict application of the Zoning Code would result in physical hardships that are inconsistent with the intent of the Zoning Code. Given that one wall of the garage is within the setback, any expansion to accommodate the 20' x 20' requirement would mean expanding the garage into the house, reducing the square footage of the house by approximately 50 square feet. Tandem parking would also prove equally difficult due to location, access, and setbacks. Our garage extends out from the rest of the house by approximately three feet towards the street. Given the orientation of the structure on the lot and the lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, widening the garage further, also "closes off'' the rest of the house from the street. Most of our neighbor's properties "face up" to the street and we'd like to maintain this neighborly feel. Our garage has a gabled roof that extends from the main ridge beam of the house. Widening the footprint of the garage would require total reframing, and possible changes to the roof slope to avoid the ridge extending higher than the rest of the house. We ask the Zoning Administrator/ Planning Commission for their consideration with this permit as our request carries no threat to our surrounding owners, occupants, neighborhood, or to the general public and community at large. Additionally, there are no alternatives to the modification permit that could provide similar benefits and granting this permit would provide relief for this unique situation. Thank you in advance for your careful consideration. PA2020-015 SITE PLAN: < .tJ';; '· JI" I ·; ! ·\. l \._· .... ··---. -· ···-•· --••·. ,_. -----~·--~ ., \\ I \ <, ......... i I I -----i ...

Admittedly it is a bit tight, but our plans call to move the washer and dryer inside the house (to just behind the wall they currently butt up against). This will provide another 3'+ of clearance within the garage.
