I will be attending the hearing in hopes of answering any questions as needed. Good morning Elaine! Thanks in advance, ~ Chris Renner 1306 Rockcliff Rd. C15-2024-0015 RE: 1306 Rockcliff Rd. Board of Adjustments Members, My name is Chris Renner, and I’m the homeowner of the property under review. I greatly appreciate the Board’s May 13 unanimous decision recognizing the numerous hardships our property faces in terms of compliance with the LA zoning regulations, including the unanimous approval of our 25’ to 0’ reduced shoreline setback. In reconsideration of our front setback, I’ve provided additional information and photos to David Chace our agent outlining the very specific hardship of our existing garage alignment in relation to the adjacent property along with providing NEW design renderings. My neighbor’s garage is 20’ from the front property line and 5’ from the side. My current garage has a 38’ setback and is angled directly towards my neighbor, creating a very awkward approach (see aerial photos). I apologize for not providing this information sooner, and would greatly appreciate and support the Reconsideration request to amend the May 13 BOA condition as it’s been currently outlined in the Reconsideration packet (to reduce the front setback to 20’ along the front facade of the house for approximately 96ft for the purpose of correcting the alignment and location of the garage in relation to the adjacent neighbor). I’ve spoken to the HOA as well as numerous neighbors about our request and nobody has any issue with this. Our request is specifically in keeping with neighborhood aesthetics (aligning my garage with my neighbor’s garage), and that *not* doing so would reflect a unreasonably unequal application of the applicable zoning standards on an otherwise ITEM02/1-LATE BACKUPoverly regulated substandard lot. I will be attending the June 10 Reconsideration Hearing in person and will be available to answer any questions you may have at that time.
