Public Hearing: A 25.9-foot setback variance from Kent/Windsor Avenue, a 22.94-foot setback variance from Warwick Place and a 16-foot rear yard setback variance for an addition above an existing garage at 5101 Windsor Avenue

These variances were approved at the Planning Commission meeting on September 22, 2021.

The applicant is requesting 3 variances to build a 2^nd floor above the existing garage at 5101 Windsor Ave. The existing home is nonconforming regarding setback from the street frontages and rear yard setback. The project scope includes adding a 2nd story master suite above the existing garage, with an additional full bathroom and walk in closet. To build above the existing garage requires a 25.9-foot variance from Kent/Windsor Ave., a 22.94-foot setback variance from Warwick Place and a 16-foot rear yard setback variance. The applicant is proposing to change the exterior of the house with a couple added gables and roof over front door to make the house fitting to the neighborhood. The plan includes installation of all new siding and trim to update the exterior of house. The material will be a LP wood siding then site painted. The project will not change the current lot coverage and no soil disturbance on site other than digging two small footing holes for the proposed front porch addition.
