Mr. Steve Cook, Cotuit Bay Design represented the applicant who wants to construct a single car garage, 16' x 22' to the right hand side of the house which is in line with the driveway. He is requesting a 6.4' Variance on the south side setback.The plot plan shows the existing 3-bedroom Cape style house with the proposed garage. The lot is only 100 feet wide. The left side of the house is 25 feet from the side property lines The width of the house is 32 feet with a chimney on the side, and leaves very little space to attach a garage. The design of the garage is to fit behind the front setbacks and there is no relief needed on the two sides, only the right hand side of the south east side of the property. The design has a walkway from the driveway with a walkway up to the house. The deck has a sliding door which is the homeowner prefers to enter the house. The utilities are situated around the chimney. This lot was created in 1985 and the R5 zoning came into effect in 1988 three years later so there's not much room. There's no neighborhood detriment and there's over 100 feet on the right and wooded conservation land in the rear. There will be no living space above the garage,just storage with a pull-down stair assembly. The height of the garage is 18' from grade. The rinse station is for their large dog. 1
