The minimum lot width is 30 feet for interior lots and 40 feet for corner lots. However, no subdivision is proposed; therefore, the size, width, and depth standards are not applicable. Building Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line and any private access easement. The required setbacks in the R-14 zone are 15 feet for the front yard, 10 feet for the rear yard, 4 feet for interior side yards, and 15 feet for secondary front yards. The application materials indicated the proposal for a basement demolition; however, no building expansion was proposed with the pre- application submittal. Not applicable, no new building expansions are proposed. Building Height – The maximum wall plate height is 24 feet with 3 stories. Roofs with a pitch equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) vertical feet from the maximum wall plate height; common rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an additional four (4) vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., decks, railings, etc.) shall not extend above the maximum wall plate height unless the projection is stepped back one-and-a-half (1.5) horizontal feet from each façade for each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum wall plate height. The pre-application materials did not indicate a proposal for building height expansion. Not applicable, no new building expansions are proposed. Building Coverage – The R-14 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 65% of the lot area. Not applicable, no new building expansions are proposed.
