New Single-Family Residence – 55 Butler St

Project Description: A Site Development Permit to demolish an existing one-story, single-family residence and develop an approximately 2,672-square foot one-story single-family residence with a 236-square foot attached garage on a 0.2-acre lot located in the R-1 Single-family Residential Zoning District located at 55 Butler St. The maximum height of the residence will reach 17 feet and 10 inches above grade level. The proposed one-story residence is designed in a modern regional style and will have a total of four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a new pool with three onsite parking stalls and associated landscaping improvements. The existing residence currently has a curved driveway and side-facing garage. The new driveway and garage is proposed to be front facing and will have a 19-foot wide by 20-foot deep driveway. The existing curb cut will be expanded from approximately 13-feet to 19-feet and the project applicant must obtain an encroachment permit from the City’s Public Works Department prior to construction of the proposed project.
