RE: Residence at 1302 Indian River Drive
Dear Bettina:
In follow up to our meeting yesterday concerning your residence at 1302 Indian River Drive, I am
writing to recap the issues in which we discussed. As I understand the situation, you desire to
redevelop your storm - damaged residence while also enhancing the site to accommodate not only
your primary residence but also quite possibly an artist's studio. Additionally, your request
includes the possibility of including a second story addition to the structure, understanding that a
25' height limit exists.
As we discussed, your residence is a nonconforming structure based on not satisfying current
residential setback standards established within the CWR zoning district. However, your proposal
to include a commercial use combined with the accessory residential use dictates that commercial
building setbacks would prevail, thus greatly reducing the nonconformity as only the south side
yard setback remains as the only setback failing to meet the setback standards. You have two
options in resolving this matter: the first is to apply for a variance as the building predated today's
setback standards, and the other is to only add to that portion of the building that complies with
zoning setbacks.
Additionally, you will be required to provide parking for any commercial use included on your
site, and by initial observance of your site survey, you have sufficient land area to accommodate
two commercial parking spaces as would be required by the approximately 360 square foot
commercial artist studio.
The comments contained in this letter simply address zoning as related to your site. You are
referred to Building Director Wayne Eseltine with respect to any structural and building code
compliance issues that may arise as the result of planned modifications to your structure.
Further, the Commercial Waterfront Residential District was implemented to enhance the viability
of the waterfront district by permitting uses such as those you've discussed in your proposal. I
wish you well in your pursuits as you work towards accomplishing your goals.
Should you need any additional information, or if I can be of further assistance, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
acy Hass, AICP
Director of Growth Management
