To Whom it May Concerns:
I am requesting a modification to the Land Use Code, section 3.2.2K1, to build a carriage house. There are currently 2 parking places on my property withing the 2 garages. I am proposing
5 parking places with the addition of the carriage house. According to the Lane Use Code, Section 2.8.2.1, 6 parking places would normally be required.
Existing Duplex:
1 bedroom = 1.5 spaces
7 bedroom = 3 spaces
New Carriage house 2 bed = 1 spaces
Parking Provided 5 spaces (modification requested).
There are several reasons that the modification would be equal to or better than the parking code in section 2.8.2.1:
There is currently street parking in front of the house.
There is currently a tandem parking place in from of the garage, albeit only 16 feet long.
The 7-bedroom house and unlikely to generate more parking than a 3 bedroom because even if we rented out the house, no more than 3 unrelated personals may rent this house, so it is unlikely
to generate more parking than a 3-bedroom house.A 3-bedroom house only requires 2 parking spaces, not 3 parking spaces.
We are adding 3 parking spaces to a lot that currently has only 2 spaces, even though the carriage house project only requires the addition of 1 parking space; as net result we are increasing
the actual parking.
Thank you for your consideration.
