705 E 50th Street Variance Request 12/12/2022 ITEM06/1--PRESENTATION 705 E 50th Street - Understanding the 2 items in conflict The address was submitted for review, and during the expedited review meeting we discovered a somewhat unique overlapping of requirements preventing common footprint homes to be developed here. ● ● ● ● Item #1 - Setbacks The Maximum Front Yard setback is 30’ (NCCD) The existing home’s setback Is approximately 34’-6” Item #2 - Tree CRZ Tree #62 is a 25.5” Heritage Pecan tree that has >50% of Its CRZ(s) on the buildable Portion of the lot There is only a 14’ wide area to Place a home within the first 15’ of buildable depth. ● We understand CoA does NOT want to lose this tree (And neither do we!) ITEM06/2--PRESENTATION 705 E 50th Street The Hardship: ● The space between the 25’ & 30’ range, between Tree CRZ and the property line leaves us with ~14’ of frontage to work with. Further elaboration on next slide Our current solution: ● Exceeds the NCCD Max by 10’, but only adds 6’ to what our existing established setback is. ● Places us as close to the street as possible while respecting our (growing) Heritage Pecan ½ CRZ ITEM06/3--PRESENTATION REMAINDER OF HOME SF GARAGE/ CARPORT Y R T N E 705 E 50th Street - The Hardship The Hardship: ● ● The space between the 25’ & 30’ range, between Tree CRZ and the property line leaves us with 14’ of frontage to work with. If The home were to have a reasonable garage or carport (9-10’ wide) seen in Gray: ○ The remaining frontage (4’-5’) would likely be entry/hallway and would be roughly 10’-15’ Long until the ½ CRZ was cleared to provide proper width for the rest of the home’s SF. Seen in Light Blue ● A home with the described above massing is not congruent with the neighborhood’s character and assigns a disproportionate amount SF to circulation/entry. ITEM06/4--PRESENTATION Some Additional Context ITEM06/5--PRESENTATION 705 E 50th Street - Current Context The Current property violates the Maximum setback, we’d like to think it was to make room for the tree at the time, but the tree has since grown a little ● 705 East 50th ○ 34.5’ Setback (Roughly) ITEM06/6--PRESENTATION 705 E 50th Street - Some Context There are 2 Properties to the East of 705 E 50th, this example is only 100’ away. ● 611 East 50th ○ 128’ Setback (Roughly) ITEM06/7--PRESENTATION 705 E 50th Street - Some Context There are 2 Properties to the East of 705 E 50th, this example is about 400’ away. ● 511 East 50th ○ 77’ Setback (Roughly) ITEM06/8--PRESENTATION
