Site Description and Surrounding Land Uses The subject property is an interior lot, identified as Lot 72 in Block 146, located at 15 Alan Street between Valley Way and Mississippi Avenue. The rectangular-shaped lot includes 40 feet of frontage on Alan Street and is approximately 4,784.8 square feet in area. The property is currently used as a residential property with a garage in the rear yard. The garage is 1.5 stories with a height of 15 feet, and measures approximately 18.5 feet by 18.5 feet. The property also includes a paved driveway from the street to the garage. The subject property is surrounded on all sides by residential uses. 3. Proposed Project The applicant, Max Grossman, is proposing to expand the existing garage from a 1.5-story garage with a footprint measuring 18.5’ x 18.5’, or 342.25 square feet, to a 2-story garage with a footprint measuring 18.5’ x 27’, or 499.5 square feet. The expansion will extend the footprint of the garage into the existing driveway area. The proposed height will increase from 15 feet to 20.6 feet. The proposal also includes (a) a roof replacement to incorporate a gambrel roof with a shed dormer, in order to blend more with the architectural character of the immediate area, and (b) removal of an existing garage extension located on the rear of the garage. The Applicant is proposing this expansion in order to accommodate parking for their truck and provide space needed for a woodworking studio, which is their hobby and part-time business.
