305 W 45th St – 2nd story addition The lot size is 1985 Sq Ft and 39’ wide, which is under the minimum of 5750 and 50’, respectively. We are requesting a variance for lot size of 1985 Sq Ft and a 39’ width We are building an addition which will add approximately 300 Sq Ft. Any amount over 200 Sq Ft requires another parking space. We are requesting either of two variances for parking; either increasing this minimum of 200 to 300 Sq Ft or reduce the required parking spaces from 2 to 1  Site History Lot configuration has remained the same since 1938. The attached warranty deed shows that this has been a small lot since land development codes came about in 1946 The zoomed-in snapshot from Jun 2 1938 (shown below) describes the same configuration that has been referenced since that date W 45TH ST.

Ft and 50’ wide As shown in the previous slide, this property has had this configuration since before 1946. This was before there were any modern regulations. Modern regulations created later applied absolutely, to all zoning (regardless of whether older improvements existed or a new one is being proposed). Therefore, this hardship has existed since before these modern regulations were introduced. We cannot change or affect lot size or width We request a variance for lot size of 1985 Sq Ft and a 39’ width, as the Site Plan and other documents have shown this to be the actual size and width of the lot Variance for parking space Here are the applicable ordinances, which coincide with Site Development Regulation Section 25-6 (Parking Requirements Appendix A) • Ordinance 20020131-20 - This is the original Hyde Park NCCD • Ordinance 20120112-086 - This is the Hyde Park NCCD amendment *Both of those sections are carried over into the amended ordinance (20120112- 086). Part 7 of the original ordinance becomes Part 4 of the amended ordinance. Here are the applicable parking subsections: Section 7.17.D.1.A of Ordinance 20020131-20 - compliance with current parking regulations is required for a 200+ Sq Ft addition Section 7.17.G.2 of Ordinance 20020131-20 - 2 parking spaces are required for each dwelling unit in the Residential District. Based on the modest addition proposed, NCCD code requires that we add another parking space However, due to the restrictive lot size and impervious cover limitation we already face, we cannot create another parking space. We are requesting either of two variances for parking regulations; either increasing this lower threshold of 200 to 300 Sq Ft (listed in SubSec 7.17.D.1.A) or reduce the required parking spaces from 2 to 1 (listed in SubSec 7.17.G.2)  Traffic photo looking west. down 45th St. My house is to the left Parking photo - ½ block west of my house, looking south down Avenue B.  A reduction in parking would not increase anticipated traffic volumes, at all The existing single parking space has not created situations where parking on public streets is required, which interfere with traffic. 45th St does not allow nor have space for on-street parking. It has not created any safety hazard. The only reason we are requesting the parking variance is to meet all necessary regulations for the addition. There is no other use or need for it to run with the site Summary The proposed improvements to the house are minor and modest, while still contributing to the historic district and improving the livability of the property 2 SECOND FLOOR PLAN FULL SIZE: 1/4” = 1’ 0” HALF SIZE: 1/8” = 1’ 0” ATTIC ACCESS HATCH FROM BEDROOM 101 3' 1" N U R ” 0 ’ 3 1 = ” 0 1 @ T 4 1 I E S R ” 4 / 1 3 ’ 9 = “ 6 1 / 7 7 @ R 5 1 LOCATION OF NEW MECHANICAL SYSTEM UNFINISHED ATTIC 201 VAULTED CLG.
