Re: Modification Permit – 306 St. Andrew’s Road, Newport Beach
To whom it may concern,
As the property owners of 306 St. Andrew’s Road, we would like to apply for a Modification Permit that
will provide relief from specified development standards of the Zoning Code.
Specifically, we are seeking relief from the Zoning Code related to “Size or location of parking spaces.”
Our property, which was constructed in 1954, includes an existing garage that is currently only 18’6”
wide. The garage walls are structurally bearing the existing room above; which is intended in our new
design, to become a master bedroom. Unfortunately, the cost(s) involved in re-framing this entire
section of the house in order to accommodate a full 20’ clearance in the garage is not an option for us.
I would like to note that the new project will remove an original bathroom that also currently
encroaches into the garage. By removing this bathroom, we will actually be creating a new 20’ clearance
(length wise) within the garage.
I am a licensed General Contractor; albeit I will not be self-performing this project. I am mentioning as I
am certainly aware of the Parking Code and also the challenges in achieving a clear width of 20 feet,
given the existing condition(s). More importantly, I am knowledgeable of construction and happy to
review/discuss in greater detail.
Thank you for your consideration.
Please feel free to contact us as needed.
Respectfully,
Will and Kathleen Allison
