McCartney summarized the request for a variance at 517 Lincoln Avenue, gave the following information: • Background: a. Existing Structure built in 1896 b. 2,263 SF building (existing); Garage 600 SF (existing) c. Building is currently oriented towards Lincoln, even though frontage is legally Hutchinson • The existing house, which has been on the property for over 100 years, is currently considered non - conforming due to rear yard setbacks. • Due to the orientation of the property, and because the applicant wants to retain a portion of the original structure, the applicant must request a 15 foot rear yard setback variance to allow for the new addition to be located within 7 feet from the rear property line (north). • The roof pitch variance is also required due to the removal of more than 50% of the existing structure. • Staff states all criteria of the above section have been met with this project. Questions from Board to Staff: None Applicant Presentation and questions from the Board to the applicant: Andy Johnson, applicant's representative, gave the following information: • Agrees with staff presentation. • Believes the property truly orients to Lincoln even though the code says it orients to Hutchinson. Malmquist states he loves the garage and was wondering if the new addition to the house would have matching roof pitch towards the garage. Johnson stated the primary roof of the addition will match the roof pitch, which is 6:12, of the existing garage.
