    Concept Review Complete: Corrections Required

    The following requirements are not being met:• The setback is to the wall, so the wall of the home (not including the porch) must be 15’ from the property line, not 14’ 10”. It isn’t clear if that is what is being portrayed in the drawing on the N side• The porch may only encroach into the front setback IF it is a minimum of 5’ wide (not 4’ 10”), and it may not encroach into the street side setback• The site is far exceeding the allowed 35% lot coverage (it is at 43%)• The existing home cannot be an ADU as it is 1400 sq. ft (not 728 as indicated on the site plan) per county records
