Discussion ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT Planning/Zoning ITEM 2. 15357 NW Nightingale NO. Street:Leet Variance Request BY: This matter was continued from the City Council meeting on September 4, 1990 to allow the Building Official an opportunity to review the house file materials on this property and the location of the well and. septic system in relationship to the requested location of the barn. Attached is a site drawing prepared by Dave Almgren, Building Official. This drawing should assist you in visualizing this request. The request, as presented, places the proposed barn 102' from the habitable portion of the structure. That dimensions satisfies the Ordinance and no variance would be necessary. It should be noted that prior to 1979, the City did not .equire garages at all. with the adoption of that amendment,-a single- car garage was required. Then in 1981, the requirement was. updated to include a 4~0 s.f. garage. Prior to 1979, i~most instances, the setback would have been measured from the habitable structure as garages were the exception, not the norm. The location of the well from the barn would have been required to be 100' feet. Back at the time the house was built, the well was usually inside the house and the setback measuring stick then became the house, not the exact location of the well. This would have been handled by the Department of Health. It should be further noted that in "normal circumstances", the front of the house faces the public road, not the side yard. With that layout, the habitable portion of the structure is usually the back of the house. In this case, the house faces south onto the 20' easement and the garage is to the east of the house closest to the proposed location of the barn. At the meeting on Tuesday evening, the Leets included in their comments the possibility of splitting off a piece of land to the east to create another building site. Two issues should be considered in regard to this future proposal: / . COUNCIL ACTION ,--, MOTION BY TO SECOND BY '~-./ ~J page Two In Re: 15357 NW Nightingale street Leet Variance Request 6 September 1990 1. A public road would have to be built (60' wide) as we do not allow structures to front on private easements. 2. Building setback dimensions should be consistent with what the City currently requires. The Ordinance requires that the structure be located 50' from any occupied residential lot. This would apply to the north side (Steffenson's) and the south side (McKelvey). If the barn is sited so that the 40' dimension runs north and south, the barn could be placed 59' from the north fence line (lot line assumed) and still stay in line with the front of the house. Ordinance No.8, Section 4.05 Accessory Uses & Structures, provides that no accessori-btiilding shall be located closer to the front lot line than the principal structure. This location would prevent the rieed foi a varian~e if the property were s~bdivided in the future. It would provide for the visual consistency of setbacks (as discussed in regard to the Kangas Variance Request).. The requested location of the barn places it immediately next to .the lean-to shed. It's location is 79' from the eastern-most edge ~f the house._ It would appear that shed wouL~ need to-be removed as the proposed location of the barn is l' from the shed as well the tree/stump to the east. Based on the above information, the request as presented should be granted by the ~ity Council. ,. , / " I 1/ / / .:~. " ~V:Jjk:7P/~. - /~I .' ( .
