for
318 W. Myrtle Townhomes
Standards requiring modification:
1. Article 4.9D6b of the L.U.C., Minimum front yard setback of 15'
2. Article 4.9 D6c of the L.U.C., Side yard width of 5'
The existing single family house built in 1915 at 318 West Myrtle Street is currently
1'-6" off of the east side property line (alley), and 7'-9" off of the front or south
property line.
We are requesting the modification based on the fact the house is an existing
structure.
Further, since it is determined that the house is of no historical significance by the
Landmark Preservation Office, we would like to add a limited height second floor
level to better balance with the existing historic house to the west, (320 W. Myrtle)
and to further enhance the streetscape. We have also designed this proposed
remodeled house to increase the current front setback from 7'-9" to 11'-9" to
include a wrap -around porch in keeping with the more traditional existing
architectural massing and historic detailing of the home that we own to the
west.
The new second floor addition to the existing house is designed so that the new
eave height of 16'-0" is well below the typical maximum eave height
requirement of 18'-0" on typical side yards. All other units within the project meet
the guidelines established by the L.U.C.
The effected property to the east and across the existing paved alley is a CSU
parking lot and large scale office building. The parking lot does not have a
landscape buffer.
