Reduce the rear yard setback requirement from 15 feet to 5 inches for an addition to Fire Station #2, which is located in the RL zone. z Section 29-133(4) by Architectural Resource Group, 415 S. Bryan. r'� ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AGENDA Regular Meeting .Lune 14, 1990 Appeal #1954 ---415 S. Bryan ---Petitioner: Architectural Resource Group, architects ---Zone: RL ---Section: 29-133 (4) ---The variance would reduce the rear yard setback requirement from 15 feet to 5 inches for an addition to Fire Station #2, which is located in the RL zone. ---Petitioner"s statement of hardship: Fire Station #2 is adding staff members and needs to provide additional dormitory space. The paramedics are also now being permanently housed at the station and a separate dorm area is required for them. The only way to accomplish all this is by adding onto the building. The rear addition configuration is necessary to provide for quick response to emergencies by providing a direct route to emergency vehicles. If the addition were spread out along the rear of the existing building, within the required setbacks, then access to equipment would be through a series of other rooms. The Fire Dept. tried to obtain additional land to the rear from the Parks and Recreation Dept. but was unable to do so. Since the area behind this lot is owned by the City and is landscaping and parking lot, the granting of a variance would not be a detriment to the neighborhood. ---Staff comments: None
