Agenda Item 3 Item # 3 - Page 1 STAFF REPORT JUNE 9, 2022 STAFF Noah Beals, Senior City Planner/Zoning PROJECT ZBA220018 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Address: 504 Pearl St. Owner: Ben & Lindsey Mater Petitioner: Heidi Shuff, Architect Zoning District: N-C-L Code Section: 4.7(D)(3) Variance Request: This is a request to exceed the allowable floor area on the rear half of the lot by 352 square feet. The maximum allowed is 731 square feet. COMMENTS: 1. Background: The property was annexed into the City in 1956. Prior to annexation the neighborhood received development approval in the county. The original building was constructed in 1955. This neighborhood is unique in that it is not platted. The legal descriptions are based on metes and bounds. Additionally, the lot sizes are less than the minimum requirement of the N-C-L zone district which is 6,000 sf. The lot sizes are closer to a square shape and less of rectangle shaped. When this occurs buildings naturally increase its size in the rear half of the lot. The existing building on the property was constructed exceeding the minimum front setback. This existing condition also pushes the building coverage further into the rear half of the lot. 2. Applicant’s statement of justification: See petitioner’s letter. 3. Staff Conclusion and Findings: Under Section 2.10.4(H), staff recommends approval and finds that: • The variance is not detrimental to the public good. • The original building exceeds the minimum front setback by 5’ additional feet resulting in an increase building coverage in the rear half of the lot • The lot shape is more square than rectangle resulting in an increase in building coverage in the rear of the lot. • The proposal still does not exceed the allowable floor area for the entire lot. Therefore, the variance request will not diverge from the standard but in a nominal, inconsequential way, when considered in the context of the neighborhood, and will continue to advance the purpose of the Land Use Code contained in Section 1.2.2 Further the variance request may be granted due to a hardship of the lot not caused by the applicant and a strict application of the code results in a practical difficulty upon the applicant. 4. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of APPEAL ZBA220018. ϳϭϱt͘DŽƵŶƚĂŝŶǀĞŶƵĞ &ŽƌƚŽůůŝŶƐ͕KϴϬϱϮϭ DĂǇϱ͕ϮϬϮϮ ŝƚǇŽĨ&ŽƌƚŽůůŝŶƐ >ĂŶĚhƐĞZĞǀŝĞǁŽŵŵŝƐƐŝŽŶ ϮϴϭE͘ŽůůĞŐĞǀĞŶƵĞ &ŽƌƚŽůůŝŶƐ͕KϴϬϱϮϰ Z͗sĂƌŝĂŶĐĞZĞƋƵĞƐƚĨŽƌϱϬϰWĞĂƌů^ƚƌĞĞƚ dŽtŚŽŵ/ƚDĂǇŽŶĐĞƌŶ͗ KŶďĞŚĂůĨŽĨŵǇĐůŝĞŶƚƐ͕ĞŶΘ>ŝŶĚƐĂǇDĂƚĞƌ͕/ĂŵƌĞƋƵĞƐƚŝŶŐĂǀĂƌŝĂŶĐĞƚŽƚŚĞ&ŽƌƚŽůůŝŶƐ>ĂŶĚ hƐĞŽĚĞŝŶŽƌĚĞƌƚŽĐŽŶƐƚƌƵĐƚĂϰϯϱ^&ŽŶĞͲƐƚŽƌǇĂĚĚŝƚŝŽŶƚŽƚŚĞŝƌĞǆŝƐƚŝŶŐϭ͕Ϯϱϰ^&ŽŶĞͲƐƚŽƌǇ ŚŽŵĞǁŝƚŚϮϲϰ^&ĂƚƚĂĐŚĞĚŐĂƌĂŐĞ͘ /ĂŵƌĞƋƵĞƐƚŝŶŐĂǀĂƌŝĂŶĐĞƚŽ^ĞĐƚŝŽŶϰ͘ϳ;Ϳ;ϯͿŽĨƚŚĞ&ŽƌƚŽůůŝŶƐ>ĂŶĚhƐĞŽĚĞ͕ǁŚŝĐŚƐƚĂƚĞƐ ƚŚĂƚƚŚĞĂůůŽǁĂďůĞĨůŽŽƌĂƌĞĂŽŶƚŚĞƌĞĂƌŚĂůĨŽĨĂůŽƚƐŚĂůůŶŽƚĞǆĐĞĞĚƚǁĞŶƚǇͲĨŝǀĞ;ϮϱͿƉĞƌĐĞŶƚŽĨ ƚŚĞĂƌĞĂŽĨƚŚĞƌĞĂƌĨŝĨƚǇ;ϱϬͿƉĞƌĐĞŶƚŽĨƚŚĞůŽƚ͘/ĂŵƉƌŽƉŽƐŝŶŐĂŶĂĚĚŝƚŝŽŶĂůϯϱϮ^&ŽǀĞƌƚŚĞ ϳϯϭ^&ĂůůŽǁĞĚŝŶƚŚĞƌĞĂƌŚĂůĨŽĨƚŚĞůŽƚ͘/ďĞůŝĞǀĞƚŚĂƚƚŚĞƐŵĂůů͕ƐŚĂůůŽǁůŽƚĐƌĞĂƚĞƐĂƵŶŝƋƵĞ ŚĂƌĚƐŚŝƉ͘dŚĞŝƌůŽƚŝƐŽŶůǇϱ͕ϴϱϬ^&͕ǁŚĞƌĞƚŚĞŵŝŶŝŵƵŵůŽƚƐŝǌĞŝŶƚŚĞE>ǌŽŶĞĚŝƐƚƌŝĐƚŝƐϲ͕ϬϬϬ ^&͕ĂŶĚŝƐŽŶůǇϵϬĨĞĞƚĚĞĞƉ͕ǁŚĞƌĞƚŚĞŵĂũŽƌŝƚǇŽĨƚŚĞůŽƚƐŝŶƚŚĞE>ǌŽŶĞĚŝƐƚƌŝĐƚŚĂǀĞĂůŽƚ ĚĞƉƚŚŽĨďĞƚǁĞĞŶϭϯϬ͛ͲϭϵϬ͛͘dŚĞĞǆŝƐƚŝŶŐŚŽŵĞŝƐƐĞƚďĂĐŬŽǀĞƌϮϱ͛ĨƌŽŵƚŚĞĨƌŽŶƚƉƌŽƉĞƌƚǇůŝŶĞ͕ ŽǀĞƌϭϬ͛ŵŽƌĞƚŚĂŶƚŚĞϭϱ͛ĨƌŽŶƚǇĂƌĚƐĞƚďĂĐŬ͕ǁŚŝĐŚƉƵƐŚĞƐƚŚĞĞǆŝƐƚŝŶŐŚŽŵĞĨƵƌƚŚĞƌƚŽǁĂƌĚ ƚŚĞƌĞĂƌϱϬйŽĨƚŚĞůŽƚ͘dŚĞƉƌŽƉŽƐĞĚĂĚĚŝƚŝŽŶŝƐďĞƚǁĞĞŶƚŚĞĞǆŝƐƚŝŶŐĂƚƚĂĐŚĞĚŐĂƌĂŐĞĂŶĚƚŚĞ ƌĞĂƌǇĂƌĚƐĞƚďĂĐŬ͕ǁŚŝĐŚŝƐƚŚĞŽŶůǇĨĞĂƐŝďůĞůŽĐĂƚŝŽŶĨŽƌƚŚĞĂĚĚŝƚŝŽŶĐŽŶƐŝĚĞƌŝŶŐĂŶĂĚĚŝƚŝŽŶƚŽ ƚŚĞƐŽƵƚŚǁŽƵůĚďĞǀĞƌǇĚŝĨĨŝĐƵůƚƚŽŵĂŬĞƵƐĞĂďůĞŐŝǀĞŶƚŚĞĞǆŝƐƚŝŶŐĨůŽŽƌƉůĂŶĂŶĚǁŽƵůĚďůŽĐŬ ĞŐƌĞƐƐĨƌŽŵƚŚĞďĞĚƌŽŽŵĂƚƚŚĞƐŽƵƚŚƐŝĚĞŽĨƚŚĞŚŽŵĞ͘tĞĂƌĞĂůƐŽƉƌŽƉŽƐŝŶŐĂĨƌŽŶƚƉŽƌĐŚ ƌŽŽĨĐŽǀĞƌƚŽƚŚĞĞǆŝƐƚŝŶŐŚŽƵƐĞ͕ǁŚŝĐŚďƌŝŶŐƐƚŚĞĞǆŝƐƚŝŶŐŚŽŵĞŝŶƚŽĐŽŵƉůŝĂŶĐĞǁŝƚŚƚŚĞůĂŶĚ ƵƐĞĐŽĚĞ͘ǀĞŶǁŝƚŚƚŚĞƉƌŽƉŽƐĞĚĂĚĚŝƚŝŽŶ͕ǁĞĂƌĞƐƚŝůůǁĞůůǁŝƚŚŝŶƚŚĞƚŽƚĂůĂůůŽǁĂďůĞƐƋƵĂƌĞ ĨŽŽƚĂŐĞĨŽƌƚŚĞůŽƚ;ϭ͕ϵϱϯ^&ƉƌŽƉŽƐĞĚǀƐ͘Ϯ͕ϭϳϬ^&ĂůůŽǁĞĚͿ͘ >ĂƐƚůǇ͕/ďĞůŝĞǀĞƚŚĞƉƌŽƉŽƐĞĚĂĚĚŝƚŝŽŶǁŽƵůĚŶŽƚĚŝǀĞƌŐĞĨƌŽŵƚŚĞƐƚĂŶĚĂƌĚƐŽĨƚŚĞ>ĂŶĚhƐĞ ŽĚĞĞǆĐĞƉƚŝŶĂŶŽŵŝŶĂů͕ŝŶĐŽŶƐĞƋƵĞŶƚŝĂůǁĂǇǁŚĞŶĐŽŶƐŝĚĞƌĞĚŝŶƚŚĞĐŽŶƚĞǆƚŽĨƚŚĞ ŶĞŝŐŚďŽƌŚŽŽĚ͘dŚĞƉƌŽƉŽƐĞĚĂĚĚŝƚŝŽŶŝƐϭͲƐƚŽƌǇĂŶĚŚĂƐĂůŽǁƉƌŽĨŝůĞ͕ǁŝƚŚĂůŽǁƐůŽƉĞĚƌŽŽĨƚŽ ŵĂƚĐŚƚŚĞĞǆŝƐƚŝŶŐŚŽƵƐĞ͕ŵĂŬŝŶŐŝƚƐŵĂƐƐŝŶŐĐŽŵƉĂƚŝďůĞǁŝƚŚƚŚĞƐƵƌƌŽƵŶĚŝŶŐŶĞŝŐŚďŽƌŚŽŽĚ͘ ŝƚǇŽĨ&ŽƌƚŽůůŝŶƐ >ĂŶĚhƐĞZĞǀŝĞǁŽŵŵŝƐƐŝŽŶ DĂǇϭϬ͕ϮϬϮϮ WĂŐĞϮ dŚĂŶŬͶǇŽƵĨŽƌǇŽƵƌĐŽŶƐŝĚĞƌĂƚŝŽŶ͘ ^ŝŶĐĞƌĞůǇ͕ ,ĞŝĚŝ^ŚƵĨĨ ^ƚƵĚŝŽ^ƌĐŚŝƚĞĐƚƵƌĞ͕>> WŚŽŶĞ͗ϵϳϬ͘Ϯϯϭ͘ϭϬϰϬ ĞͲŵĂŝů͗ŚĞŝĚŝƐŚƵĨĨΛŐŵĂŝů͘ĐŽŵ 9,) 9,) (;,67,1*6725<+286(6,'(<$5'6(7%$&. 6,'(<$5'6(7%$&. 5($5<$5'6(7%$&. )5217<$5'6(7%$&. 3($5/675((7 352326('6725<$'',7,21 352326(')5217325&+522)&29(5(;,67,1*3$7,2(;,67,1*'5,9(:$<3URSHUW\$GGUHVV 3HDUO6WUHHW3URSHUW\2ZQHU %HQ /LQGVD\0DWHU2ZQHU V3KRQH %HQ3DUFHO1R /HJDO'HVFULSWLRQ &20$737)76$1')7:2)1(&257+1)7:)76)7()772%(*)7&=RQLQJ'LVWULFW 1&/6XEGLYLVLRQ 6756HWEDFNV)URQW<DUG )HHW5HDU<DUG )HHW6LGH<DUG )HHW/RW6L]H 6)¶[¶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rom:Noah Beals To:Kory Katsimpalis Subject:FW: [EXTERNAL] RE: Appeal # ZBA220018 Date:Saturday, June 4, 2022 8:43:09 PM -----Original Message----- From: louwho@frii.com <louwho@frii.com> Sent: Friday, June 3, 2022 10:56 PM To: Noah Beals <nbeals@fcgov.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: Appeal # ZBA220018 Hello: We are next door neighbors to 504 Pearl Street and have no objection to the planned addition to their home.

We are unable to attend the appeal hearing July 1, 2022 for 504 Pearl Street. We are directly adjacent on the north, to 504 Pearl and have no objection to the addition the Mahers have planned. We, ourselves, added 768 square feet to our home in 1984 and several homes on Pearl Street have been added to, with some additions being 2 story. The home directly south of 504 Pearl did a huge addition and renovation in the past 2-3 years and it greatly improved that property, which is on the corner of Pearl and Sycamore. They used the same architect the Mahers have contracted for their proposed addition. If you have any further questions we would be happy to speak to anyone. July 1 we will be unavailable, but happy to answer any questions between now and then. Sincerely, Charles and Louise Kello
