G Krabbe Consulting Holbrook Avenue setback: While the asked for front yard setback reduction is over half of the Citys standard 25', please consider that the right of way for the streets within this plat are 80' wide, far in excess of the current City standard of 60' for a neighborhood arterial serving over 100 homes. In addition, the proposed garage structure itself will still be approximately 34' from the back of curb along Holbrook Avenue, wan beyond the Ctiy's current 20' garage setback. The construction of the garage as proposed allows the applicant to enhance the homes ability to accommodate vehicular parking in a fashion more consistent with the community and without the need to change the established access for the lot. This in turn will enhance the homes value anounction within the community. The reduced front yard se+.back are allowances enjoyed by many other homes in the immediate area; all the homes fronting Holbrook Avenue have access to rear yard alleys, but all take vehicular access off of Holbrook Avenue, and many have been constructed within the 25' setback from the established right of way (see City GIS plat, z;'d photographs attached). The installation proposed by the applicant is not excessive when compared to other homes along Holbrook Avenue in this area.
