UNGAR, PRINCIPAL PLANNER SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 495A MR. AND MRS. NICHOLAS HORNBERGER 6 WILLIAMSBURG LANE (LOT 38-RH) The property owners made application for a Variance to allow the encroachment of a garage into the front yard setback and a request for Site Plan Review to construct substantial additions to an existing single family residence. During the hearing process, plans were revised to eliminate the substantial additions requiring Site Plan Review. In response to your question about building pad coverage, note that calculations of the building pad include the following improvements: primary residence, accessory buildings, subterranean garages, recreational game courts, pools and stables but, do not include decks. Structural coverage proposed on this 10,144 square foot building pad is 37.7%. Driveways, patios, decks and patio areas are included in flatwork calculations. Structural coverage for the proposed project is 10.1% (20% permitted) and total lot coverage (structural plus flatwork) is 17.6% (35% permitted). You should also note that though the Variance for the garage encroachment was the only thing approved, the following special conditions were included in the November 16, 1993 resolution: (1) obtain building permits to remove the attic storage area window at the north side of the house that was illegally constructed and reconvert the attic space to non -habitable space so as not to constitute a second story within six months of the approval of the resolution; and (2) obtain building permits for the deck and residential additions situated at the rear of the residence that were illegally constructed within six months of the approval of the resolution.

MINOR, MANAGE /' / ' " DATE: JANUARY 13, 1994 RE: HORNBERGER ADDITION A plan for a residence addition has been submitted by the Hornbergers for Architectural Committee review. It is my understanding that this plan was approved by the City. The plan was held on the agenda to ascertain if, in fact, the "as built" deck was approved. For your information, before the committee can consider any new construction, the structures already built without permits must be resolved. In viewing the plan and photographs, and the large deck, questions were posed by Committee Members that the pad coverage percentage exclusive of sebacks appears to be at least 80%. The Committee would also appreciate your input and information about how the unpermitted construction was resolved. do C 0/ Rollin,. _AIL ^'BEARING DATE: TO: FROM: APPLICATION NO.

Another survey shows an average 3,037 square foot residence and 600 square foot garage on Williamsburg Lane. The building pad sizes vary considerably from approximately 3,858 square feet to 40,844 square feet, and coverage on the pads range from 7.45% to 95.07%. The average is 43.99%. 4. Grading for the project site will not be required. 5. The structural lot coverage proposed is 4,354 square feet or 10.1% (20% permitted) and the total lot coverage proposed is 7,595 square feet or 17.6% (35% permitted). 6.
