PUBLIC HEARING:
PLANNING ACTION: 2010-00840
SUBJECT PROPERTY:
APPLICANT: Christopher and Molly Kingsley-Holzshou
DESCRIPTION: A request for a Conditional Use Permit to Exceed the Maximum Permitted Floor Area (MPFA) within a historic district by 9.5% or 176 square feet, and a request for a Variance to the required 20-foot front yard setback. The applicant proposes a new single family residential home to be located 10-feet, 2-inches from
Chairman Shostrom confirmed there were no conflicts of interest and no exparte contact. Mr. Skibby disclosed that the applicants had come to a Historic Review Board meeting. Mr. Severson described the project pointing out the extra-wide right-of-way.
Mark Knox, representing the owners, talked about the background of the original MPFA (Maximum Permit Floor Area) ordinance. He explained that this property had no alley access in the rear so it was necessary to push the structure to the front of the lot to accommodate the garage. He said no feedback was received from the neighbors. The applicant’s intent is to make the house as compatible as possible.
Ms. Renwick asked about the setback on the neighboring property and was told it was 20 feet. Mr. Baker thought that houses that were closer to the street tend to slow traffic. Chairman Shostrom asked about the 2 parking spaces and what the driveway finish would be. Mr. Knox suggested a special driveway finish to minimize a bleached white concrete look.
There being no one in the audience to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Giordano made a motion to recommend approval with the condition that the driveway have a special finish with a darker color and some texture. Ms. Renwick seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
