proposed home without having to bring in an inordinate amount of fill. The septic system as well as an alternative site will be located in the rear yard fugher restricting possible locations for the accessory structure. The proposed detached accessory structure would have an exterior finish that matches the home (stone work and fiber-cement siding) and be constructed with architectural standards including soffit, fascia, and eave overhang. Furthermore, the total square footage of accessory structures on the property would be 1,584. The property is eligible for 1,664 square feet of accessory structure space. The Northfork Architectural Review Committee has reviewed this site plan and has approved it. Recommendation: It would be possible to shift the detached garage so that it was parallel with the street. While this wouldn't eliminate the need for a variance altogether, it would reduce the amount of variance requested. However, if a breezeway or trellis were installed between the attached and detached accessory structures, a variance would not even be required because both would then be considered attached to the principal structure. Staff believes this is a reasonable request and recommends approval of the variance application.
