So why a CUP approval for a waiver...?
ruMliiiii
15
N
...because the garage/studio
addition overlaps the house.
Since we are a corner lot,
this triggers the need for a
CUP.
Note:
CUP would NOT have been
needed needed if.•
• A breezeway connected the
house to the detached
garage, or
• If the detached garage was
pushed behind the house
Why not just build breezeway, or push it back?
Breezeway doesn't work
• Not functional given house layout
• Not visually appealing —too clunky
Pushing it back is suboptimal
• Minimize disruption to existing utilities
• Minimize disruption to mature landscape
• Maintain > distance from community path
Form and Function
Utilize existing driveway
• Minimize concrete jungle
• Breaks up long expanse; adds interest
• Added privacy
• Hide trash cans
• No other place for it (e.g. Septic field)
