Bleeker Date:Saturday, March 13, 2021 1:54:32 PM Attachments:image009.png image010.jpg image011.jpg image012.jpg Here are zoning notes for 121 W. Bleeker. 1. Yard exceptions needed: Fire feature, and possibly a built in barbeque (it only shows on a couple of sheets) that are placed between a street and structure. 2. The exterior stairs in the west side yard setback need an exception. 3. The rear basement and second floor deck need a 5’ rear setback variance 4. The east side yard has AC units taller than allowed. If those can be set lower into the ground in some sort of “vault” so they are no more than 30” above the surrounding grade, then no setback variance to the east will be required. If they cannot be lowered the applicant will need an east side yard setback variance for the higher than 30” AC units. 5. Combined side yard setback – the combined side yards are supposed to be 14.94’. If the stairs and the AC units receive a variance, then the combined side yard will be reduced to 10’. 6. There are height challenges for the rear, non-historical, section of the project. Because the areaway/lightwell is larger than 100 sq. ft., height for all of the rear element on the property will be counted from the bottom of the areaway per 26.575.020.F.4, Allowed Exceptions to Height. Currently as drawn, the entire rear (new) section of the house does not meet height. The applicant will either need to reduce the size of the areaway to 100 sq. ft. or less or ask HPC for a variance. There are currently no height points being shown on the plans. Without these height points being added, there is no guarantee that the applicant meets height even without the areaway. Please review section 26.575.020.F.2.c) for how to measure height when there are multiple pitches within one vertical plane.
