Statement of Planning Objectives
The objective of the proposed development is to construct an 822 SF structure, containing a 598 SF 2-car
garage on the first floor accessed off the alley and a one-bedroom apartment above which is to include
approximately 224 SF of living space with ceiling height of 7 1/2’ and higher. The living space will have a
gravel parking area to the west of the 2-car garage, and a yard to the south of the parking area for the
occupant’s use. Access to the upper level living space will be via an exterior stairs along the south side
of the structure.
The primary intent of the development is to provide an apartment for the owner’s nanny, though the
desire is to allow flexibility for the use of the apartment to change in time as the owner’s needs change
(for example, if they no longer have the need for a nanny). Possible future uses for the space would
likely be for visiting guests.
The project site is located in the southeast corner of the Craftsman Resub Subdivision, where the
University Acres subdivision is directly to the east of the property containing homes built in the 1960’s
and the Circle Drive Subdivision is directly to the south of the property containing homes built in the
1940’s. As the site is clearly within a transition zone, the design of the carriage house takes on a more
contemporary aesthetic, while utilizing exterior materials (horizontal siding & stucco) and window sizes
that tie into the scale and character of the adjacent structures.
