Copland Hagman Yaw LId Architects Appellant: Copland Hagman Yaw Ltd. Case No. Description of proposed Exception Showing Justifications The Owner wishes to construct a partial second story addition onto an existing residence which was originally built in 1958. Subsequent to the completion of the existing structure the site and environs were zoned R-15 causing non- conformity of the building with regard to the front yard setback requirement. As shown on the enclosed site plan, portions of the existing structure extend into both the present 25 ft. front yard setbar.k and the Right of Way of adjacent Roaring Fork Road. The 28' height limit designated for the R-15 zone permits the proposed second level addition within the setback. Variance is sought to permit a second level addition to be constructed onto the small triangular portion of the existing building that projects at its maximum point approximately 5' into the front yard setback. Because the design proposes to utilize both the existing architecture and foundation system for structural support both an economic and design hardships would result. The design for the addition in fact, proposes to reduce the nonconformity of the existing building by deleting that portion of the structure (approximately 20 ft.) that projects into the City owned Right of Way. In order to accomplish this and to provide required over- hang protection for the existing entry and parking (north exposure) it is necessary to add a reduced roof overhang outside the present setback to functionally replace the larger portion of the building proposed for deletion. The resulting effect is no increase in nonconformity while removing the structural encroach- ments on city property and in general improving the massing of the building as related to both the neighbor- hood and intent of the zoning. An architectural scale model of the proposed building addition will be brought to the hearing to illustrate further the justifications for this variance request. Respectfully submitted UrJ , ~a~man Yaw Ltd -, ,.. . "~ '", Appellant: Copland Hagman Yaw Ltd. Case No. Description of Proposed Exception Showing Justifications This is in regards to the Sturgis "Main House" remodel. We are making request for a reduced front yard setback to permit construction of the final building design which meets a very complicated set of conditions. The previously granted variance disallows any variation from the preliminary plan on which we made our request. As always occurs in the lengthy design process, we did vary. The following points further explain what we feel is a very valid request for variance. A) First, the existing encroachments of the original building make it nigh to impossible to remodel it without creating any other encroachment s . B) Secondly, the final design solution addresses a very wide range of requirements, such as an extremely complex roof geometry, structural constraints prohibiting cantilevering enough of the roof to remove the encroaching columns which are located by the layout of the angle parking spaces, as well as the functional necessity to protect not only the parked cars, but also the passengers on their way on foot to the front door. C) Thirdly, the need for adequate natural light and ventilation in the "pad" area upstairs requires that it overhang the 25 ft. setback line by about 4 to 5 feet. D) Fourthly, the building inspector has pointed out that a strict interpretation of the original variance granted on the preliminary plan invalidates the final solution. Also, he is interpreting the column line as being the building line although it supports the roof line and is several feet in front of the second story addition. E) Fifthly, the aesthetic impact of a drastic reduction in the final roof design to meet the strict compliance requirement will result in an unattractive, awkward roof. The comfortable country feel that we are trying to achieve will be destroyed along with the functioning of the protected parking and walkway. Respectifully subm' ~ COPLAND HAGMAN YAW LTD.
