Address: 1025 Ellingson Lane Owner: Amias Maldonado & Lena Banks Case # 2020-178348 PR The existing home was built in 1957 and is a compact 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence. The owners currently live in the home and intend on living here during the construction of their new home at the same address. This existing home would transition from being the primary dwelling to being a secondary apartment behind the new primary dwelling. The city limits secondary apartments to 15% of the lot size, or 1100 SF, whichever is smaller. In this case, the lot size limits a secondary apartment to 966 SF. The measured size of the structure is 1022 SF. In order to comply without a variance, we would need to remove 56 SF. While it is arguable that there are an infinite number of ways 56 SF could be removed from this structure, there are a few methods that would render the home non-functional. For example: Removing the kitchen or the bathroom, or removing portions (such as the sinks or the commode) would render the home unlivable. So, we are not considering remodel options that would significantly reduce those rooms, which are already small. - t countless hours consulting with Jim Gobel to make sure the trees were impacted as little as possible. Our new home is pushed all the way to the right side of the lot in effort to minimize impacting the tree root zones. If we removed space from the existing home on the left side or front wall, we would be additionally impacting the root zones and we would prefer to avoid that as much as possible. The less traffic and construction in that area, the better off those trees will be. We matter what we do to shrink 56 SF we end up making one of the rooms dysfunctional (which would certainly be a hardship) or would result in losing a bedroom altogether (also a hardship, as the family currently needs and uses all three bedrooms). Our findings while exploring this project are summarized as follows: 1) Removing an entire bedroom would be a hardship for the family. 2) 3) Reducing 4) - de would be a hardship for normal use of that room. zones. 5) Even if all items above could be resolved and the house was to be remodeled, asking the family to move out for several months to perform the remodel would be a hardship. The family has a 4-year-old child that they would prefer not to move to a new home more than is necessary. Thank you for your consideration. D-9/9D-9/10
