BACKGROUND

Description of Proposed Project
The 10,750-square foot project site is located at the end of a nine-lot cul-de-sac on Bluebird Court. The applicant proposes to add an 887-square foot hobby room on the first floor of an existing 2,087-square foot two-story, single-family residence. The hobby room addition would be on the northwest side of the main residence. The project includes the removal of a 117-square foot shed located in the area of the addition.
