A. 308 North Buchanan Street – Expansion of a Nonconforming Structure
The Verplank family purchased the old Reichardt home at the very northern most point of Buchanan Street recently. Several home additions are planned. One existing, non-conforming setback is extended.
This matter was noticed as a public hearing per Section 3.18.D.1 of the Spring Lake Zoning Ordinance for special use permit to permit an addition to the nonconforming structure located at 308 North Buchanan Street, Spring Lake, Parcel # 70-03-15-332-001.
The request is to permit construction of a 508 square foot, two-story extension on the north side with the lower lever serving as an addition to the garage and the upper level permitting a sunroom.
This addition would increase the nonconformance of the existing front yard from 15.3 feet to 12.5 feet instead. (The side and rear yard setbacks will also change but no action is required of the Planning Commission.) The proposed addition would be (12.5’) feet from the west property line and (48.2’) feet from the rear (north) property line (Spring Lake). See enclosed schematic site plans.
All neighbors within 300 feet were advised. Enclosed are copies of the neighborhood feedback.
