ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AGENDA REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 11, 1990 Appeal #1965 ---617 Princeton Road ---Petitioner: Robert Dillon, owner ---Zone: RL ---Section: 29-459 (1) --- The variance would allow the use of a detached building in connec- tion with a home occupation. Specifically, it would allow and existing 24 x 40 foot detached garage to be used to house limou- sines in connection with a limousine service in the RL zone. --- Petitioner's statement of hardship: The petitioner has operated his occupation out of another residence in the same manner as is l� proposed for this property for 2 years in the same neighborhood. He purchased this property unaware that he could not continue as before simply because the garage was detached. The petitioner feels that the ordinance creates a hardship to him because he is not able to use his garage as numerous other home owners with a business simply because it is detached. The building is also already existing and is long enough to accommodate a limousine, whereas most attached garages are not long enough for such vehicles. --- Staff comments: The Board has granted a number of variances to allow detached garages to be used in connection with home occupa- tions. Usually, they have been granted only when the nature of the business makes it impractical to use the house, and the activity to be conducted in the building will not create a nuisance to the neighbors. The length of the vehicles used in this business is unique, and most attached garages would not work. Only storage of business vehicles will occur in the garage. Office related functions of this business such as paperwork and phone calls will take place in the house. Appeal #1966 --- 2823 W. Lake Street --- Petitioner: Al Nickerson, owner --- Zone: RL --- Section: 29-133 (5) --- The variance would reduce the required side yard setback along the east lot line from 5 feet to 1. 5 feet for a 12 x 40 foot detached garage in the RL zone. The garage would house a 37 foot long recreational vehicle. --- Petitioner's statement of hardship: The petitioner desires to maintain as much distance as possible between the new building and the existing garage. Placing the building as far to the east as possible allows for better access in that the RV can be driven straight in and straight out. Other possible locations are not advisable because the size of the motor home requires considerable room for maneuverability. --- Staff comments: None. Appeal #1967 --- 109 N. Washington --- Petitioner: Tim Conine, contractor --- Zone: RL --- Section: 29-133 (3) , 29-133 (4) , 29-133 (5) 3-0 --- The variance would reduce the required f g sin -e street side setback along Bungalow Court from 15 feet tc(3 feet for a on . to the house. The variance would also reduce the required rear setback from 15 feet tot''® feet for a new �Qtwo-car garage to replace the existing one-car garage. --- Petitioner' s statement of hardship: The existing garage is very old and in poor condition and is only 1. 5 feet from the rear lot line. The petitioner would like to demolish it a build a new garage. The lot is very shallow and it is difficult to build a new one without a variance. A 2-story addition is planned for the house and in order to achieve a character similar to the neighbor- hood, a front porch is necessary. Since the existing house is only setback 20 feet, any porch addition will require a variance. The existing house is setback 0 feet from the property line along Bungalow Court and the plan is to increase the setback to 5 feet but build a second story. --- Staff comments: None. Appeal #1968 --- 4118 Harbor Walk Drive --- Petitioner: Don Richmond, architect --- Zone: RMP G --- Section: 29-238 , 29-133 (4) -� --- The variance would reduce the required rear yard setback along the north lot line from 15 feet to 5 feet for a new home in the RMP zone. The house will face west, so in reality, the north lot line acts as a side lot line instead of the rear lot line. --- Petitioner's statement of hardship: The lot is a corner lot, wherein the narrowest of the 2 street frontages is along Maren Cove, and that is the front lot line by definition. The house, however, faces Harbor Walk Drive, the legal side yard. Trees were planted several years ago along the east lot line, and the lot when platted, was designed for the east lot line to be the rear, with the house looking to the west with a view of the lake and the mountains. --- Staff comments: This is a typical corner lot situation which the Board should be familiar with wherein the legal rear yard is in reality the side yard.
