New Information for February 2018 ZBA Review RESPONSE TO ZDA CONMENTS
RE: JOE ORLOW AREA VARIANCE REQUEST
1/12/1
Below is a list of comments that we have tried to address as a result of our original ZBA
meeting. They may have been made by the public or by ZBA members. At any rate we
tried to address each.
« Comment: The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is too high.
The storage area in the loft of the proposed home has beery reduced in height to
reduce the FAR. A variance from the FAIL is no longer needed.
• on rnent: The deck is too large and may serve to collect junk.
We have reduced the size of the deck by approximately a t1 d.
• Comment: The door on the left side of the home is not shown on the plans.
A, left side elevation was not shown ori the original plan set. A left side elevation
is attached. The door shows on this elevation,drawing. It was already shown on
the floor plan.
o Comment: The house has considerably increased in size. The porch was not a
part of the borne and the statement that the original foundation was not expanded
is false.
We inspected the site, talked to the owner and researched information from the
assessor's office. The owner has indicated that what we call the porch was
actually part of the home. The kids slept in that area and tyre was a heater for
that portion of the home. The foundation of the home was block and it was
provided under theso-called porch area and the remainder of the home. It is the
same fogdation that exists today. The dimensions that the assessor's office
provided is only 1 foot different fiom tb,e information provided by the surveyor.
We have not expanded the foundatiorrlfoot print of the home. Some pictures of
the home are attached that shove the foundation,the porch and the original
dimensions are attached.
Attached are the revised pages of the applicadon that have changed as a result of our
revisions and responses to comments.
If you have any questions feel free to entail or call me.
