SUBJECT: Request for variances to the minimum side yard setback from 7
2' to 2 2' and to the minimum rear yard setback from 15' to
11'
FILE: 539-BA
STAFF REPORT
David Bourquein, the applicant, is requesting variances to side yard
and rear yard setbacks for the property at 4845 Littlewood.
Mr. Bourquein is wishing to add a second story to an existing garage
and connect the garage to the house with an elevated enclosed
walkway. The second story of the garage will consist of two
bedrooms and a television room.
The original garage was built to within 2 2' of the side yard setback
and to within 11' of the rear yard setback. Now that a second story
is being added to the garage and the entire structure is being
connected to the house, a 7 2' side yard setback and a 15' rear yard
setback are required.
Mr. Borquein states that moving or demolishing and rebuilding the
entire garage would be cost prohibitive. Mr. Borquein also looked at
cutting off the living space that infringes on the side yard setback and
determined that the structure would not look appealing to the
neighbors and from the street. He states that windows will not be
included on the rear of the structure.
The applicant shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that all
three conditions necessary for approval of a variance have been met.
Exhibits are attached.
