RE: Variance application Narrative
For a remodel (RMH-A zoning)
Mr. and Mrs. Vonlossberg
327 Seventeenth St.
Huntington Beach, Calif.
Dear Zoning Administrator and planning staff;
This project consists of adding a third floor and roof deck to an
existing two story house. The property is a corner lot and as such the Public
Works Department has informed us that they will require us to relinquish a
2'3" easement along the rear alley way and an additional front 20' radius
corner. Both of these "takings" together with the new curving setback lines
impact our ability to enjoy the same privileges as our neighbors. Since the
City is taking our property thereby lessening it value we request some minor
relief in the design criteria in order more equally enjoy the same privileges
as our neighbors. We are asking for a variance in the lot coverage totaling
16.8% net after the taking of our property. Additionally, we are impacted by
the new curving 25' setback line.
The majority of overage is due to balconies and architectural
projection which break up the massing and enhance the architectural
appearance. We request approval of our encroachments which we feel would
be in keeping with the City's designated RMH-A zoning intent.
Sincerely,
Gus Orozco, ar4hitect
Agent for Own City of Huntington Beach
