HEATHER STREET, SIDE_YARD SETBACK VARIANCE This request is to allow the applicant to encroach onto the side yard setback on the north side of his home for the purpose of constructing a four-season porch onto the east side of his home. , ,--.J Bosell stated the records for this home built in 1973 are very scarce. An error was made in the placement of this home when it was built, and an additional eight feet of land on the north side of the property was deeded to the property owner to provide for some side yard. When the error was made, the northeast corner of the house encroached on the neighbor's lot approximately 1.7 feet, plus a dog kennel and fencing. The additional eight feet allowed the entire structure to be on one lot. ,- \ 1,--" ( ') '-J '. I , / Regular Planning & Zoning Meeting June 26, 1990 Page -3- Bosell reviewed sketches of the house and lot and proposed addition. The addition follows the lines of the house, but because the lot narrows from front to back, it would create the encroachment of being approxiamtely 6'4" of the side yard boundary. Mr. Wooten stated that the existing covered deck is situated directly behind the garage and is located approximately 7'2" from the lot line. The proposed porch would be extended directly out from the deck, following the existing roofline. Mr. Dean Keller, the owner of the adjoining property (13547 N.E. Heather Street) has submitted a letter stating he has no oposition to this porch, and was in attendance at the meeting. Spotts noted that the house was still in violation of the ten foot setback after the additional land was deeded over to the property at the time it was built. Mr. Wooten is not the original owner of the home, and did not know the house was built in violation of the ten foot setback until he made plans to add this porch. J Staff and Commission discussed at length if this followed under the criteria of undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration. The Commission requested that Bosell obtain information from Building Inspector Dave Olmgren regarding living space on new construction that is built behind the garage, and why specifically he referred this for a variance or if it would fall under the interpretation of the 3'6" setback requirement because of its location behind the house. MOTION by Coleman and seconded by Peek to table this item until the July 10, 1990 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Motion carried unanimously. It was requEsted that Staff put this on the City Council Agenda for the meeting on July 17, 1990.
