Page 2 A. STATED HARDSHIP: "Code requires a 4 car garage for a duplex, but in doing so, it will exceed square footage requirements." B. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: Section 205.08.01.B.(4).(a) requires that the first accessory building shall not exceed 100% of the first floor area of the dwelling unit or a maximum of 1,000 square feet. Public purpose served by this request is to maintain the residential quality of the neighborhood by limiting the size of accessory structures. Request The petitioner requests a variance to allow an increase in a first accessory building from 1,000 sq. ft. to 1,069 sq. ft. in order to allow construction of an addition to an existing garage. The addition will also increase the square footage of the first accessory structure greater than the first floor area of the dwelling unit. The request is for Lots 16-17, Block 9, Hamilton's Addition to Mechanicsville, the same being 451-453 - 54th Avenue N.E. Site Located on the property is a duplex with an attached two car garage. Located to the west of the property is a cemetery, and the property to the north and east is zoned R-3, General Multiple Family Dwelling. The property to the south is zoned R-2, Two Family Dwelling. Analysis The duplex was constructed in 1977 with the existing attached two car garage. Under the R-2, Two Family Dwelling district regulations, Section 205.08.05.B states: "A two -stall garage shall be required for each dwelling unit." At the time the duplex was constructed, this Code requirement was not enforced. The petitioner is requesting a variance in order to bring the property into compliance with the above Code section. Staff Report VAR #91-27, 451-453 - 54th Avenue N.E. Page 3 The petitioner has two alternatives which would allow him to meet the Code requirement. The proposed addition would occur on the exterior of the east wall of the existing garage. The petitioner's alternative to this would be to remove the east wall of the existing garage and construct a shorter addition to the garage. By reducing the width of the proposed addition by approximately 4 feet, the total garage area would be approximately 1,000 sq. ft. However, as the first floor area of the dwelling unit is 951 sq. ft., the petitioner would still need a variance to allow a first accessory building to exceed the first floor area of the dwelling unit. The petitioner's second alternative would be to construct a detached second accessory building to the west of the dwelling unit. This would not be the most logical location for an accessory use; however, it would meet the Code requirement, both for the two -stall garage requirement in the R-2 district regulations, as well as maintaining the first accessory building at an area less than the first floor area of the dwelling unit. This second alternative does have another disadvantage in that the petitioner would be required to process a special use permit for a second accessory building over 240 sq. ft. While the above alternatives would be valid if the request was for a first accessory structure for a single family dwelling, the Code is unclear in the R-2 District in regards to first accessory buildings for two family dwellings. The proposed garage addition will create a second, separate garage, which will meet the requirement for a two car garage for each dwelling unit. Each garage is less than 1,000 sq. ft. and less than the floor area of the respective unit. While this interpretation eliminates the need for the variance, the variance was process to determine if the Appeals Commission concurred. Recommendation Based on the Code interpretation, and the fact that the structure, while it looks like a single family dwelling, has always functioned as a duplex, staff recommends that the Appeals Commission approve the variance request. 0i d k lfarurtpal Engineering a Rod i.ahr4 • Land Surrrun/ • Land Planwrit $rwth Office 8906510 1101 Chff Romf Burnwitle.
