We are requesting the ability to match the footprint of the existing garage and add a loft unit above that will be 441sf - the adjacent garage to the south has a similar condition with a second story over the garage, and one of the properties to the north is a smaller lot with a detached garage that has a 2nd story loft (window, bathroom and unit # but not permitted as a 2nd unit) ITEM10/5-PRESENTATION 2 UNITS 2 UNITS- LOT THE SAME SIZE AS 4705 ROWENA I P H S D R A H E U Q N U I – A N E W O R 5 0 7 4 GARAGE WITH 2ND STORY ABOVE 4 UNITS HARDSHIP THE HARDSHIP FOR WHICH THIS VARIANCE IS REQUESTED IS UNIQUE TO THE PROPERTY AND NOT GENERAL TO THE AREA IN THAT IT IS ONE OF ONLY 2 MID BLOCK PROPERTIES IN HYDE PARK THAT FACE ROWENA ON THE WEST SIDE AND AVENUE F ON THE EAST SIDE AND DO NOT HAVE A 2 FAMILY ENTITLEMENT.

THE ADJACENT HOUSE TO THE NORTH HAS A GARAGE W/ A BATHROOM & "STORAGE" LOFT ABOVE THAT IS SIMILAR IN CHARACTER TO WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED. THE ADDITON WILL SIT WITHIN THE FOOTPRINT ABOVE THE EXISTING GARAGE & THE ONLY CHANGE TO IMP. COVER WILL BE THE ADDITION OF A 35SF STAIR.
