Modification of garage design requirements (4-2-115E.1). The existing attached garage is
non-conforming to these standards and compliance is not feasible without moving the entire
home. The addition and alterations however, decrease the garage's dominance of the facade,
increase the visibility of the entrance, and comply with the intent of this design standard.

Code Section: 4-2-115E.1. “Garages”
Guidelines:
The visual impact of garages shall be minimized, while
porches and front doors shall be the emphasis of the
front of the home. Garages shall be located in a manner
that minimizes the presence of the garage and shall not
be located at the end of view corridors. Alley access is
encouraged. If used, shared garages shall be within an
acceptable walking distance to the housing unit it is
intended to serve
Compliance with Guidelines:
Code Section: 4-2-115E.3. “Windows and Doors”
Guidelines:
Windows and front doors shall serve as an integral part
of the character of the home. Primary windows shall be
proportioned vertically rather than horizontally.
Vertical windows may be combined together to create
a larger window area. Front doors shall be a focal point
of the dwelling and be in scale with the home. All doors
shall be of the same character as the home.
Compliance with Guidelines:
Code Section: 4-2-115E.3. “Primary Entry”
Guidelines:
Entrances to homes shall be a focal point and allow
space for social interaction. Front doors shall face the
street and be on the facade closest to the street. When
a home is located on a corner lot (i.e., at the
intersection of two roads or the intersection of a road
and a common space) a feature like a wrapped porch
shall be used to reduce the perceived scale of the
house and engage the street or open space on both
sides.
Compliance with Guidelines:
Code Section: 4-2-115E.3. “Façade Modulation”
Guidelines:
Buildings shall not have monotonous facades along
public areas. Dwellings shall include articulation along
public frontages; the articulation may include the
connection of an open porch to the building, a dormer
facing the street, or a well-defined entry element.
Compliance with Guidelines:
Code Section: 4-2-115E.3. “Eaves”
Guidelines:
Eaves should be detailed and proportioned to
complement the architectural style of the home.
Compliance with Guidelines:

my knowledge the above information is true and complete.
Applicant Signature: Date:
The existing 2 car garage comprises the whole facade at the first floor level, and
dominates the house's image from the street.
The addition and alterations improve the house's appearance by adding interest to
the facade and by increasing the visibility of the entrance. This is accomplished by
enclosing the existing open porch and extending the stairs towards the street. (We
will be happy to increase the landing at the top of the stairs to 5,' which helps move
the entry stairs even closer to the street).
Specifically, the proposed addition and alterations improve the facade relative to 2
out of the 7 possible garage design options, which are the only possibilities for this
nonconforming building.
#5- The proposed garage will be 66% of the front facade at ground level,
compared to 100% for the existing facade.
#7 - the garage doors are shown on the drawings as fully glazed, as requested by
the homeowners, and will have attractive architectural trim.
Thank you for your consideration.
