Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Commission during the above- referenced meeting on May 25, 2005, including written and oral staff reports, this Commission hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The application applies to property located on the north side of Laramie Drive,west of Beryl Street, with a street frontage of approximately 100.27 feet and lot depth of approximately 203.07 feet; and b. The properties to the east and west have been developed with single-family homes; the property to the north is vacant, and to the south is Laramie Drive; and C. The site is vacant and contains no vegetation other than native shrubs; and d. The proposed development is consistent with single-family development in the area; and e. With this proposed home, a 3,156 square foot tuck-under garage is proposed as well. The cut of the natural terrain, to achieve a tuck-under garage, is a total of 8.5 feet. Because the applicant has created a tuck-under garage with the entry facing east, it will be less visible from the street view. Additionally, if the garage were raised to not exceed 5 feet, then the slope of the driveway would exceed the maximum allowed.
