Cherokee St. #2321 <br />Denver, CO 80223 <br />November 30, 2023 <br />Homeowners: Rob De Voto & Emily Donaldson De Voto <br />Marshall Fire Rebuild: 953 Saint Andrews Ln, Louisville, CO 80027 <br />Contract Start Date: August 24, 2022 <br />Variance Board Hearing - RE: We are formally seeking permission to intrude 5 feet and 4 1 /2 <br />inches into the front setback on the North-West corner of the property located at 953 Saint <br />Andrews Ln., owned by Rob De Voto and Emily Donaldson De Voto. <br />Proposal: <br />Given the construction of large homes on all three neighboring lots, the De Voto's home faces <br />significant limitations in allowing natural light and functional outdoor spaces. To effectively <br />address this concern, the proposed design for the reconstruction of 953 Saint Andrews Ln. needs <br />to encroach into the front setback. On the East and South sides of the lot, neighboring homes <br />are situated atop the retaining wall. Assuming these reconstructions are maximizing their 30-foot <br />bulk plane heights, the De Voto's property lacks opportunities for sunlight and gives the <br />impression of being surrounded by a combined mass of up to 48 feet, accounting for the height <br />of the retaining wall and homes. Example shown in presentation. <br />The proposed home's size at 2,745 square feet above grade is well within the norm when <br />considering the sizes of other residences in the neighborhood. <br />Having a front porch is customary in home design. Ensuring the functionality of the front porch is <br />crucial for enhancing the home's value. The size of the intended front porch with an 8-foot <br />depth is moderate and not excessively spacious. <br />The envisioned home design aligns with the neighborhood's character and adheres to the <br />specifications set by the Coal Creek Ranch neighborhood architectural review committee. <br />
