The applicant is purposing an 1,833-sq. ft. single-family two-story house with an attached rear-loaded two-car garage with a private access easement and a partially-finished basement. The house material and size is compatible to the other homes located in the Hannahs Place Subdivision. The home will meet the 5-ft. side setbacks and the 11-ft. setback on the front, as well as the 6 ½ ft. deep front porch. There is a little under 31ft. setback from the rear property line. There is a 2ft. encroachment into the corner of the lot, that is permitted, as it is an architectural feature for a covered porch to encroach up to 2ft. into the setback. The only condition is that the porch can never be enclosed. QUESTIONS Commissioner Birkenmaier asked if the basement started under the porch area. Mr. Wright stated that it did not. The basement will start back under the house. Mr. Wright noted that there will be a covered balcony up above. Commissioner Birkenmaier asked about the basement window. Mr. Wright stated that there would be an egress for the window along 9th Street side. There is no setback requirement for the egress. Commissioner Potter asked about the drive along the back. Mr. Wright stated that it is a private street. Commissioner Potter stated that the Council didn’t care for private drives in the past. Mr. Wright stated that the street will run all the way through 8th and 9th Street. There should be no issue for the Fire Department and the street is part of an HOA. APPLICANT Absent.

Vicinity Map / General Location Map BACKGROUND INFORMATION/SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting to build a 22-ft. wide by 25-ft. deep (550-sf.) detached garage in the rear yard of 1800 SW Walnut Street, which is located in the Old Town Historic District. The two-car detached garage will meet all accessory structure setbacks and will not exceed the maximum square footage under the Downtown Development Code (DDC). The proposed detached garage will be cladded with vinyl siding and composite roofing to match the house. The existing house is 1,107-sf., which permits up to 553.5-sf. of accessory structures (max. 50% of main structure finished floor area). The applicant will be removing the existing small shed on the lot to construct the garage. PREVIOUS ACTIONS/APPROVALS:  On February 20, 1990, the Board of Alderman approved a rezoning into the “H-O” (Historic-Overlay) which established the Old Town Historic District (Ordinance No. 1916). Page 2 of 3  Project: HPC – 1800 SW Walnut St.  On March 26, 2007, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a rezoning from “SF-7” (Single-Family) to “T3” (Sub-Urban) as part of the rezoning for the Downtown Zoning District. The City Council approved the rezoning on April 2, 2007. OLD TOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT (1990): The house is within the boundaries of the local Old Town Historic District, approved in 1990 by the Board of Alderman (Ordinance No. 1916). The house was built in 1950 and is considered a contributing building to the Historic District. HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEY (2013): The house was built in 1950 and was given an integrity rating of “fair,” due to alterations to siding, windows, and front porch. FUTURE APPLICATIONS/REVIEWS ANTICIPATED OR REQUIRED: A building permit is required for all accessory structures 250-sf. or larger. Since the subject property is in the Historic District, it must be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission before a building permit can be issued. The Downtown Review Board does not review detached accessory structures in the “T3” (Sub-Urban) zoning district. ABUTTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Direction Current Zoning Surrounding Land Uses North: Right-of-Way SW Walnut Street (Major Collector) South: “SF-7” Single-Family East: “T3/H-O” Single-Family West: “T3/H-O” Single-Family DISCUSSION: The proposed detached garage location meets all accessory structure standards and will match the design and materials of the house. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the detached garage at 1800 SW Walnut Street. Page 3 of 3
